May Issue. This issue of Becker's Hospital Review contains our big-
gest and most-read list of the year: 100 Great Hospitals in America. It
also contains various feature articles, including "Market Domination
is Everything + 7 More Thoughts on Strategy" and "To Pay or Not to
Pay Ransom: A Tale of Two Hospitals," which provides a look at the
growing threat of ransomware attacks in the healthcare field. In ad-
dition, the May issue holds a special debrief on the Medicare Access
and CHIP Reauthorization Act — "MACRA roadmap: 9 questions
on a post-SGR world, answered" — and the premier of Chuck Lauer's
unique advice column, where he writes to a CEO who is flat-out tired
after leading a burned out team. I hope you enjoy reading.

July 27-28, we will host 175 speakers, including 95 hospital and health
system CIOs, CMIOs and revenue cycle leaders for a conference in
Chicago. The event features 100 educational and informative ses-
sions, as well as keynotes from legendary coaches Bob Knight and
