If you cannot be one of the authors, being invited to write the Foreword is perhaps the next best thing!
I say this because, when the idea for this project first came about, I had agreed to be one of the co‐authors. I was really excited about being a part of it, and to have the opportunity to contribute to the literature of the use of statistical analysis in improving the quality of healthcare delivery. The energy that Mary Ann, Cecilia, Jane, and Shirley each brought to the early discussions about the book was infectious, and I was eager to get started. Unfortunately, due to life circumstances at the time, I had to make the difficult decision to step away. It is so rewarding to see that the book has now come to fruition, and I believe it will become a great addition to the bookshelves of current and future healthcare leaders alike.
