The board established a work group and, after a lot of hard work by that group, and the Board itself, "In Pursuit of Excellence: The Hospital Commitment" was developed. We made a conscious decision to develop an initiative that was hospital focused. In other words, instead of developing the traditional health care reform position statements regarding universal coverage, payment system changes and other global reforms, we focused our efforts on what hospitals should do to reform the system. We wanted to have a working position that would allow us to focus and make real and measureable changes over five years to the health care system. This is not a public policy proposal for others to act on, but a demonstration of hospital leadership. Patient-Centered Medical Home Pilot Update March 2009
