Managing the healthcare needs of an entire population requires a wide portfolio of providers, from large hospitals to small clinics to new models like telemedicine. This primer will introduce you to all of these providers, the healthcare services they provide, and the key business concepts they must balance while also ensuring positive patient outcomes.
