Table Talk

What are you struggling with in your own facilities?

What do you hope to learn from one and other?

If you did a site visit or have other experience with different facility types what do you notice?

Network MappingWe are collecting information to draw a beginning map of our network.

We know from research about change that understanding our network helps us build effective relationships and solve tough problems.

Network maps have been powerful tools in other collaboratives such as the Pittsburgh VA and Regenstreif Institute work on MRSA. So, please take just a few minutes to fill out our questionnaire.
