I have been pleasantly surprised to find that much of what is being done here is probably transferable, definitely more than I or anyone asking your question likely thinks. The reality is that patients and physicians want to receive and deliver great care. I welcome you to follow along and ask about specifics as I go. Anything specific based on what you see here so far? Thanks for the input...Ted Hi Vince,

I'd be interested in your thoughts about how much/what is transferable to mainstream health care in America, i.e., organizations other than Kaiser or Group Health where financing and delivery are not integrated. What lessons carry over, and which ones don't? Ted, Thanks for your perspectives about developments in leading edge organizations.
