Roy Poses, M.D., who runs the Health Care Renewal site, complains that more than 60 percent of the chief executives of America’s “Great Health Systems” have no educational background in healthcare but instead are those whom Dr. Poses calls “generic managers.”

He bases his remarks on Becker’s Hospital Review’s list.

And he says that there are now 10 healthcare managers for every U.S. physician.
