The healthcare delivery "system" largely exists as a series of distinct niches. Yet there is a convergence of forces that promote organization around outcomes and value, which will radically transform our approach to health and wellness. This ecosystem will ensure the smooth operation, resiliency, and survival of a healthcare system that is patient-centered, cost effective, and integrates data and evidence into practice.
