This Week's Goal: Given this week's readings and your notes, format an essay addressing the following:
Can you explain and give examples of Dr. Bradshaw's leadership compared to others' management? Why might health organizations need both leaders and managers?
Based on your reading, describe the needs for leadership imperatives for implementing Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR) systems.
