In the ever-changing world of health care policy, measurable improvements are more important than ever-and predictable, intuitive results are the goal. But when it comes to accountable health care, data analysis can yield unexpected answers, sometimes even proving counterintuitive to practices that seemed to make sense at the time. For that reason, developing proper analytic skills can seem like a comedy of errors, requiring patience and willingness to learn from your mistakes. Erroneous guidelines, puzzling policies, and baffling data have all been put forth in the name of improving patients' health outcomes-some since debunked, and others proven surprisingly effective. In Riddles in Accountable Health Care, experienced physician Eran Bellin takes readers on a fun and fascinating romp through these complex issues in the world of health care, answering questions whose answers may seem obvious, but upon analysis can yield some paradoxical results. In the vein of Freakonomics and The Tipping Point, Riddles in Accountable Health Care provides an educational and thoroughly entertaining look at a subject sometimes fraught with overwhelming details-and guides health care professionals, med students, and the public alike toward a whole new way of thinking about data analysis.

What sort of organization leadership will they require to evolve?Using real-world analytic examples from an expert in the field, Missing Management: Health-Care Analytic Discovery in a Learning Health System identifies the widespread oversights and failures of management inhibiting effective illness prevention in current health-care delivery systems. In addition, author Dr. Eran Bellin offers health system managers valuable insights to help them successfully implement learning health systems through making better use of analytic infrastructure, defining goals, learning from failure, designing interventions to prevent failure, and evaluating the success of those interventions.Dr. Bellin has produced an incisive and necessary instructional text that will be of immense use to all those who care about the future of American health care
