Shipman! University of Utah! Salt Lake City! USA 'Lorri Zipperer's book takes a complex topic that has been woefully illusive and yet powerful and presents practical opportunities for systematic change in healthcare based on a theoretical and applied basis.

Chief Library Officer! New York Public Library! USA 'One of the most valuable strategic assets that can lead to a sustained increase in the high reliability in the delivery of healthcare is medical knowledge management.
