Seamless Systems of Care: Better Alignment, Coordination, and Outcomes
Presented on June 2, 2010
“We have to ask why places like Geisinger Health Systems in rural Pennsylvania… can offer high-quality care at costs well below average, but other places in America can’t. We need to identify the best practices across the country, learn from the successes, and then duplicate those successes everywhere else.” – President Barack Obama, town hall meeting on healthcare, June 11, 2009, Green Bay, WI*
