Abstract
One day a few years ago, my boss at Baxter International asked for examples of organizations that undertook substantial or transformative change before the market or competitors’ challenges forced them to change. I could identify very few. Consistent with a natural human reticence to change before being forced, the track record of any significant efforts appeared to be dismal.

And yet, within the U.S. healthcare system, there are examples of successful transformative change, including:
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
