Register Today! Becker's Hospital Review CEO Strategy Roundtable - Nov. 5, 2014 - Chicago 7 August issue. The August issue of Becker's Hos- pital Review contains some of our most popular lists, which detail the size and scope of hospitals and health systems across the country. These lists highlight the largest hospitals by bed count, the largest systems by number of acute-care hospitals, and the top-grossing hospitals by revenue. We hope you find these lists useful and interesting. The issue also contains noteworthy feature sto- ries, including "Health IT and Liability: How to Protect Your Hospital When Software Fails," which discusses the risks hospitals face with health IT implementation and the steps they can take to avoid pitfalls. The issue also features "Di- rect Contracting: How Providers and Employers Can Work Together to Cut Costs and Improve Care," an article that explores the best practices and approaches for hospitals seeking direct con- tracting relationships with employers, a trend that is likely to proliferate in the next few years. In the August issue, you'll also find stories about compensation for nonprofit hospital board mem- bers, how companies like Apple and Nike are poised to shake up healthcare, one health system's success with Google Glass, the latest statistics on accountable care organizations, what narrow net- works mean for providers and how health system leaders can successfully lead through the change.
