It's All About the Patient

The goal and focus of every health care provider is to do what is best for patients, but implementing that best practice can sometimes be a challenge. Join us as we discuss the participation of OSF HealthCare in a national initiative with the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to accelerate and improve the implementation of research results in clinical care to improve patient outcomes. As part of this initiative, OSF will use its expertise to develop and implement strategies to reduce the delay in adopting proven practices. Host Shelli Dankoff chats with the following OSF HealthCare leaders about the impact of this initiative:·     Mike Cruz, MD, chief operating officer·     Ralph Velazquez, MD, chief medical officer·     Melinda Cooling, APRN, MBA, senior vice president of advanced practice and chief clinician executive of OSF OnCallConnect with us at www.osfhealthcare.org/accelerated
