New technologies can improve healthcare, but not without improved leadership and organization. The authors of Mobile Medicine: Overcoming People, Culture & Governance, a multi-disciplinary team of practitioners and users of Health IT together with researchers make a significant contribution by applying lessons from the latest technology challenges: mobility, privacy, and security that can best be addressed by developing the kind of learning organization and leadership my colleagues and I describe in our book Transforming Health Care Leadership, A Systems Guide to Improve Patient Care, Decrease Costs, and Improve Population Health.

Healthcare has struggled to implement new software and digital technologies and there is great frustration that the digital revolution in healthcare has not followed the same trajectory as it has in other industries. This book helps the reader to understand what makes the healthcare environment fundamentally different with discussions on how to address many of these barriers. Understanding these differences and how to address them is the difference between a shining promise that fails and a solid solution that revolutionizes care. Should be required understanding for those that want to create new healthcare technologies, to implement new technologies, or to invest in new healthcare technologies.

There are so many great ideas to help digitize healthcare. What's needed beyond bright ideas is a practical understanding of what must be done to deliver results to patients, their families, and clinicians. This requires much more than cool UI or UX, this demands that we understand the risks and as technologists and leaders, we have to take responsibility for the challenges and lead to help solve them. To help guide you, leverage the insights from the key, multiple disciplines of this world-class team of co-authors and researchers who wrote this book, Mobile Medicine: Overcoming People, Culture, & Governance.

Universally we all agree that now is the time to transform healthcare with technology, however the healthcare industry in the United States has unique characteristics and barriers that can make it difficult to deploy innovative technologies. As a former wireless and electrical engineer and now patent attorney, working with numerous connected/digital health companies, this book is an excellent resource to further understand how to solve deployment, implementation, and adoption challenges unique to medicine. While challenging, the rewards are worthwhile; the industry leaders, insiders, and researchers, all coauthors of Mobile Medicine: Overcoming People, Culture, & Governance show us the roadmap.
