Driving Research Results Into Practice -Susan Dentzer, Editor-in-Chief of Health Affairs
The Thought Leaders lecture series was launched at the seventh annual Corporate Industry Briefing in Washington, DC, on March 24, 2010. Our featured speaker Susan Dentzer, editor-in-chief of Health Affairs and on-air health analyst for the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) program The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, addressed the topic of "Driving Research Results Into Practice."
In her remarks (embedded below), Ms. Dentzer addresses the critical need to move research findings into implementation, best practice and solutions as quickly as possible - particularly during this time of massive change in the healthcare industry. Ms. Dentzer outlines five key challenges facing this rapid-cycle learning process.
This Thought Leaders lecture was made possible through philanthropic contributions from HealthPort and Precyse Solutions.
