With recent headlines like these, it's no secret that health care is in turmoil. After more than a decade of health care reform and changes in managed health care delivery, health care executives and physician leaders are still seeking ways to optimize performance and improve systems so that quality and cost-effectiveness can comfortably coexist. At the TMCI annual conference, delivery system leaders and educators will come together to explore new approaches and identify resources and tools that will bolster the behavior changes necessary for enhanced alignment of the concerns of physicians and other clinicians with the realities of managed health care delivery. We're attempting to tie the work of quality improvement to the education process of medicine. This conference is about the value of getting health care delivery systems to help physicians lead the improvement.
