9 ASCOA Half Page (below publisher's letter) October issue. e October issue of Becker's Hospital Review is built around the values of strategy and innovation. In the next few pages are stories about organizations innovating via stopping rather than starting, which requires a special form of leadership. You'll also find a story about missteps that oen hold hospitals back from realizing their inventive potential and a list of 25 hospitals with innovation centers. Related to innovation in payment models and care delivery, the issue contains our annual list of "100 Accountable Care Organizations to Know." It's been remarkable to watch this list take shape over the past few years as ACOs proliferated. Finally, don't miss the story "e Hardest ing I've Ever Done," which contains stories and insights from a dozen hospital and health system executives who recalled the toughest moment in their careers thus far.
