"""In healthcare, there is a lot of information and a lot of ideas, but it's rare to take those same ideas and information and then turn them into actionable and meaningful outcomes. Jonathan Wiik not only understands this at a level that brings immediate value, but also helps to drive sustainable changes to organizations. Within healthcare, there are a lot of folks that talk the talk, but it's rare to find those that can also walk the walk in a truly meaningful and impactful way. Wiik does both to a level that is not only refreshing but instills confidence as you work with him. Healthcare needs more Jonathan Wiik's in it."" --Miguel ""Mike"" Vigo IV, Chief Revenue Cycle Officer, UC San Diego Health ""Healthcare has been on an unsustainable trajectory for a very long time. This book is a call to action. Wiik not only challenges healthcare leaders to solve the problems facing our industry, but he also provides a foundational education for disruption. Weaving together research, anecdotes and humor, Jonathan explains the state of healthcare funding in a way that's inspiring and engaging. This is a must-read for healthcare leaders."" --Adrienne Moore, DrPH, FACHE, CSPR, CSAF, SVP Finance, Banner Health"
