Through a unique interdisciplinary perspective on quality management in health care, this text covers the subjects of operations management, organizational behavior, and health services research.

Everything should've changed the day vampires and shapeshifters came out to the world six years ago, but it didn't--at least not for Gabi Daniels. She still sleeps, eats, runs, and goes to school. And when she's out in public, she still can't tell if the people she passes on the street are humans or actually Supernaturals, a.k.a. S'nats. No one else can, either, which is the problem. If S'nats have actually populated the globe for eons without anyone knowing, what else might be lurking out there, ready to pounce? Then Gabi's dad, a lawyer, defends a vampire accused of murdering a human. His high-profile win results in threats from S'nat haters. To keep Gabi safe, he hires WatchDogs, Inc., a personal protection agency with bodyguards that actually shapeshift into dogs. Fray Matsen, a Rottweiler, has his work cut out for him and not just because he finds Gabi a big distraction. Is the threat really human? Or could it be S'nats with an agenda of their own? And will his human strength and canine senses be enough to save Gabi when they find themselves face-to-face with the enemy?
No wonder Keely Laine has a chip on her shoulder. Her mom is missing, her dad's in prison, and she has secret special abilities most people can't appreciate or understand. Further complicating her situation, she's one of the so-called Granger gang, a group of misfit teens living in foster care...but not for long, at least in Keely's case. In a matter of days, she'll be eighteen and an adult according to state law. How will she ever manage on her own? Sawyer McCabe, one of the Lejeune High's elite, has had his eye on Keely for a while. She's got brains and beauty in his opinion, but even the support and advice of her Granger friends can't get him over the moat and past the invisible dragon guarding her private castle. Will Sawyer be ready when opportunity suddenly knocks in a most unexpected way? More important, will Keely?
