Representation from across the country means, for example, that executives from low managed care communities can learn from their counterparts in markets with high managed care penetration. How the Roundtables Work. Roundtables design their own seminars. Participants identify the issues they want to explore and the experts they want to hear. Members also give presentations describing processes, outcomes, and lessons learned from recent business management experiences.
Roundtables are more than just customized seminars.
When this occurs, the participants use the Roundtable like their own consulting firm. As Roundtables mature and evolve, participants are taking over their own meetings to showcase new ideas and to engage in group problem-solving. Future Roundtables may commission their own research, or jointly conduct and evaluate multi-site demonstration projects. Briefing books on emerging issues may be prepared, summarizing the literature. Resource directories could identify model-builders, consultants and key contacts in a field of interest.
