Sentara Health System--reinventing the organization.
This Norfolk, Va.-based system began a five-year effort to change the way it does business by streamlining governance and involving physicians in management. Now in its third year of "Reinventing Sentara," it's focusing on increasing covered lives and cutting costs while increasing quality; some 15 priority redesign projects were identified and half of those have been implemented.
