Lack of Leadership

Straight from the report that Dave Fagus criticized for its lack of scholarship:

Despite our best efforts to prepare a well-informed report, this document may still be criticized as imperfect. To that we would agree. First, the six month timeline outlined by the project’s sponsor limited the scope and depth of any primary data gathering and interview process. Additionally, we were limited to easily accessible public data for this analysis, as there was little cooperation from the Office of the President of Board or the State Department of Healthcare and Family Services for more detailed, but otherwise difficult to access public data. Although many individuals were willing to discuss the pressing issues facing the Cook County health system, including Cook County Commissioners, civic leaders, other health care providers, and, notably, physicians who work in Cook County hospitals and clinics, we have been unable to secure the timely cooperation of the leadership of the Bureau of Health Services in the preparation of this report. Therefore, there may be facts and Bureau-based initiatives that are unknown to those we interviewed or otherwise unavailable to us.

I wonder if Dave will ever bother to enlighten anyone as to how Toddy would fix the problem of an uncooperative leadership.
