Health Systems Need to Transform Data Collection to Advance Health Equity

Dr. Jonathan Perlin: 270,000 Americans die annually from this strange disease - Here’s how to protect yourself

Jonathan Perlin, Chair of the AHA, on Engaging Our Communities and Transforming Health Care
Improving health, care and value are the tenets of the Triple Aim. Transformative improvement is challenging, but possible. This kind of transformation requires community partnership that, in turn, demands collaboration, communication and culture change. In practical terms, health care leaders know that transformation will take our best efforts as well as the time, energy and insights of our health care teams: managers, clinicians and nonclinical staff.
