Healthcare Acronyms & Terms for Boards and Medical Leaders, 10th Edition 

The 10th edition of Healthcare Acronyms & Terms provides new terms for a transforming healthcare industry. Advances in technology, new care delivery approaches, changing payment models, a focus on population health, new entrants into the market, and the need to provide consumer-centric care are creating an environment where innovation and disruption are currently top of mind for healthcare leaders. This edition reflects new terms that have emerged due to these changing priorities, as well as boardroom and industry trends.

This booklet both demystifies healthcare and updates the user’s healthcare vocabulary. It actually serves two purposes: it is a starting place for those new to the industry and an extension for those who have been navigating the terminology landscape for a while.
