Outcome: Introduce and create understanding of adaptive space that provides an effective approach to innovation and sustainable change within our healthcare systems.
- Integrated care delivery has been the goal of healthcare systems for over 20 years, and while progress has been made, the care delivery process, based upon consumer feedback, remains fragmented.
- Change ideas abound in how to create a seamless delivery system.
- Healthcare leaders annually build-out strategic plans with the intent of implementing these innovative ideas.
- So why are these well thought out plans with the best of intention falling short?
