Health care leaders from the United Kingdom will join Minnesota health care executives, trustees, and physician leaders to talk about the transition to integrated care systems at a forum at Hennepin County Medical Center on Tuesday, June 7, 2011. The forum title is “Governing for Innovation in Health Care Delivery” and it will feature Minnesota and U.K. health care leaders sharing their perspectives and experience with integrated systems from the exam room to the board room.
The U.K. executives and trustees are in Minnesota next week to explore integrated care and innovation at the policy, provider, payer and patient level. Their topics of study include how payers and providers can work together to create integrated care systems, how the health care system can build a capability for greater innovation, and the governance and leadership that is necessary to support innovation.
