Care STEPS REDESIGNING CARE 6
HOW WE GOT HERE 7 WHAT WE LEARNED The health care system is very stable and does not change quickly or easily. Payment is a barrier to delivering care that improves outcomes and retains staff. Changing payment does not change the front lines of care delivery. To change care, you must have a clear vision that reflects the evidence regarding the causes of health and wellbeing in patients and staff. Keep payment and care aligned and evolving to support human-centric model.
