Art of Collaboration; March, 2010
We had hoped to take a break from “health care reform.” But, it’s hard to get away from it when that is all we hear. The vote taken on Sunday in the House is another step toward reallocating the financial resources of the health care system. The process has been ugly, mean, and partisan all the way. It has not been easy to watch.
It is ironic, then, the topic scheduled for this month was about collaboration. Especially with what just occurred in Washington, all organizations, health care providers, consumers, employers, and, yes the government, are going to need to begin to work together in new ways. While “collaboration” as an idea is a buzz-word in many other industries, it is especially important in health care, as collaboration may be a necessary strategy for survival.
As you think about the opportunities for collaboration and read our thoughts, just visualize what you are observed in Congress, do the opposite and you can safely assume you are probably on the right track to successful collaboration.
