This issue includes targeted solutions, an intelligence report, and the cover story 'Your Nurses Can Fix the Hospital.'
The latest edition of HealthLeaders magazine has been published online, with insights on mergers and acquisitions, population health, cost containment, and more.
In his introductory letter to the March/April issue, HealthLeaders Media interim Editor in Chief Jim Molpus addresses an often-overlooked disconnect in the current frenzy of healthcare M&A activity.
“If all healthcare is local, as the saying goes, then are mergers counterintuitive?” Molpus writes.
“What's always missing in the stampede to merge are the operational, financial, and cultural realities.”

“We need [nurses'] eyes and ears to help us recognize how we can improve not only the care in a hospital setting, but in an ambulatory setting and all the places where care is going to be delivered going forward," said Maggie Fowler, RN, BSN, MBA, NEA-BC, system vice president and chief nursing officer for SSM Health in St. Louis.
These stories are in addition to the magazine’s intelligence report, an interview with American Nurses Association President Pamela F. Cipriano, three targeted solutions, and more.
