My dedication is to Robert T. Riley, the managing editor of the first edition of Transforming Health Care through Information: Case Studies. In that role he edited all the cases and ensured that they were more readable and had a sense of balance and humor. Bob was nationally and internationally acclaimed for his presentations, his management developmental seminars, and his consulting skills. He authored several books and numerous articles on management and on managing technological change. Bob was known for his humor, his constant quest for new knowledge, his ability to understand and solve problems, his ability to make friends, and his ability to teach others. By publishing yet another edition in this series, we continue to remember and honor his memory.
