HS:I have a deep-seated feeling within my core that how one takes care of a human is not proprietary. We should share that information. If I figured out something pivotal and didnt share it, I think someone would ask me, Why didnt you share that management of the person with an acute myocardial infarction? You guys solved that; why didnt you share that with everyone else?

Care transformation has shifted in the last decade or so to emphasize collaboration and dissemination, and one of the things Im grateful for is Premiers QUEST quality improvement collaborative. QUEST brings together hospitals from across the nation and provides us the ability to benchmark against the best.

Through QUEST and Premier technology, we can call up or instant message our colleagues and say, How did you get there? What are you doing to solve these issues? Everyone in this collaborative is bonded by a mission to improve care nationwide, and that shared mission encourages open and forthcoming conversations.
