TOPICS
OK, so we're diverse. Now what?
Many organizations have the external appearance of being diverse, yet are they taking full advantage of that diversity? Is diversity helping or hurting the bottom line? What conversations are necessary in order to successfully create a shared future with a multicultural workforce? What are the specific challenges in the HealthCare Industry regarding diversity and inclusion?

Redesigned Primary Care: more equitable, better quality, and lower cost health care.
Why are systems based on primary care needed if we are going to solve our current health care crisis? What are patient-centered medical homes? How do we transform the current organizations to be more patient-centered? How do we build adaptive reserve in practice? How is diversity a factor in building adaptive reserve? What are accountable care organizations in health care? What role does diversity play in building the needed workforce for health care reform? Who is going to take care of the 32 million newly insured patients?
