Continuing to care in changing times. Keynote address.
While oral presentations do not always translate well into print, the enthusiastic response of the audience to Bill Tietjen's keynote address to the 14th Discharge Planning Symposium, Oct. 23, 1993, prompted DPU to put this editorial maxim to the test. Considering the relevance of the symposium's theme to the upheavals that health care reform will invariably impose, we offer Tietjen's keynote address here, in a somewhat shortened version to accommodate the print medium.
