Continuous learning drives healthcare improvement

Conclusion The common ground among healthcare providers who successfully transform how they deliver care is the ability to weave together strong leadership at the top while empowering front-line staff to implement the actual changes necessary to advance strategic goals. These elements of successful leadership require that leaders point the way, allow management to figure out how best to execute the strategic plan and then hold everyone accountable for the results.
