Top Leadership Teams:
"We've brought these three boutique healthcare organizations together..."
During Top Leadership Teams event last week, this was the phrase that Jim Molpus, Editor-in-Chief of HealthLeaders Media used in jest to introduce a panel Ted Etyan, MD, was on along with Jay Srini, Chief Innovation Officer of UPMC Insurance Services, and Jeffrey Balser, MD, Ph.D., who was just named Dean of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. In his blog, Etyan notes that the "boutique" he was representing was a combination of his previous employer, Group Health Permanente, and his current employer, The Permanente Federation.

Transitioning from 'Never Events' to 'Patient-Centered Ever Events'
There has been a considerable amount of attention paid recently to "never events." Such events are relatively infrequent, but they show failures in patient-centered care that affect thousands every day. Susan B. Frampton, PhD, president of Derby, CT-based Planetree, and Patrick A. Charmel, president and CEO of Griffin Hospital in Derby, CT, discuss how patient-centered care, which has long been identified as a goal to improve the quality of healthcare, is something hospitals continue to struggle with.
