Delivery Systems: Small Group Discussion

The Delivery Systems working group will be defining principles based on high-level thinking surrounding accountability, perverse incentives, coordination of care, portability, and preventative care. The group will use health outcomes as a metric when developing principles based on all of these topics. Input from online participants is welcomed an encouraged.

Final Health Systems to Discuss in Small Groups

Our final five systems to discuss in the context of health reform, which we'll discuss in smaller groups include:

1. Economics
2. Access
3. Delivery Systems
4. Research-to-care continuum and wrap around/innovative research
5. Patient empowerment

We have agreed to discuss the overarching considerations in each of these overarching themes:

• Quality
• HIT
• Technology beyond HIT
• Prevention and not just care
• Continuing care,
• Risk
• Waste
• Culture change

Next we'll break into five smaller groups to discuss these topics in detail. Bloggers will be paired with each group to give you updates and infuse your comments into the discussions.
