Abstract
Why has the volume to value movement become stuck as organizations struggle with downside risk and unaccomplished goals? How do the traditional models of quality improvement and patient safety work in population health? When you are no longer changing one person’s condition, or fixing one organization’s opportunities for improvement, what do you use? This webinar will describe the translation of concepts, methods, and tools from organizational improvement to population health management and provide ideas for simple approaches to create results.
