Foreword
I have had the past good fortune on several occasions of meeting certain persons for the first time, who, after hearing them speak cogently for only a few minutes, have become my instant and durable friends. One such colleague is Dr. Morey Menacker, former President and Chief Executive Officer of the highly successful New Jersey‐based Hackensack Alliance Accountable Care Organization, and well qualified author of this brave new book, Transforming Healthcare. Given his very extensive experience as a master geriatrician and seasoned senior healthcare executive, the best three words I can think of to describe Morey are as “The Doctor's Doctor”.
More than twenty years ago, the Institute of Medicine (now known as the National Academy of Medicine within the National Academy of Sciences) published an urgent “call to action” for the American Health System in its seminal Crossing the Quality Chasm.
