Co-opetition in wound care.

More than a few decades ago, I read a fascinating newsmagazine article about the future of hospitals and health care organizations, envisioning what they might look like beyond the year 2000. It forecasted that modern health care organizations would certainly look different in the future. The authors predicted that hospitals would be more integrated, cooperative, and, in some cases, even collaborate with their competitors. For example, employees from multiple organizations could be working side-by-side within the walls of the structure we know as a hospital. Their forecast was right on! Today in 2008, we are witnessing this collaborative connectivity in the form of alliances, joint ventures, hospitals within hospitals, and employees from differing organizations working side-by-side. These partnerships galvanize expertise, economy of scale, appropriate reimbursement for patient care services, and provide better outcomes for specialized patient care services, including wound care.
