Delivering Health Is Delivering Value

The way that health care is delivered is changing. Pay For Performance, Provider Benchmarking and Patient-Centered Medical Homes are all on the rise. Health Professionals need the tools and skills to support patient engagement and move comfortably into the future of care. Both the World Health Organization and the Institute of Medicine agree that chronic care is a new practice model for which nurses and other health care professionals need comprehensive, specialized training. Mastering evidence-based medicine support, patient partnering, behavior change facilitation and health coaching competencies has become essential.

All health professionals should be educated to deliver patient-centered care as members of an interdisciplinary team, emphasizing evidence-based practice, quality improvement approaches, and informatics. -- Institute of Medicine, 2001

Yet, seven years later, aside from promising pockets of innovation, health care professional training and continuing education programs remain largely unchanged.
