Payment Realignment
Realignment of payment with the six aims is esential. There is not enought excess capacity in the system to bootstrap itself without the cooperation of payers. The six aims of a transformed system are that it be: 1. Safe, 2. Effective (evidence based), 3. Patient-centered, 4. Timely, 5. Efficient, and 6. Equitable.

> More on Our Meeting with Policy Makers In Washington, D.C.

When we (Rebecca Bryson--patient, John Hayward--CEO of PeaceHealth, and Marc Pierson--Exec of Perusing Perfection in Whatcom County) went to Capital Hill to present our ideas for consideration last week we created a "one pager" to leave behind. You may find it interesting. Obviously, it is brief, hopefully concise, but not complete. It may be useful to explain Pursuing Perfection to friends or acquaintances. It is a MS Word document.

Premier has been helping Whatcom county advocate our position in Washington D.C. They they reported on John Hayward's participation in a National Health Policy Forum meeting on Capital Hill in Washington, D.C. last Wednesday. The news article is captioned "CEO of Premier owner PeaceHealth: Breakdown of health system silos would go a long way toward sustained improvement of patient care." Rebecca Bryson and I, along with 15 others from other Pursuing Perfection sites were in the audience. This forum and our meetings with our Congressional Members was arranged by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation through their CONNECT group.
