March 2010 - National Health Service change leaders share experiences, opportunities with Oregon legislators and health care leaders
In March 2010, Paul Corrigan and Helen Bevan from Britain’s National Health Service met with Oregon clinicians and health care advocates. Britain’s health service was once seen as an example of how not to nationalize health. Through innovation and quality improvement, the NHS is now a global success story.
Oregon nurses, doctors, legislators, and health administrators, insurers and advocates, talked with these NHS representatives about how we can move the focus from providing health care to creating a healthier population. Learn more, watch the presentations, and download materials from the event
