title: Fostering common vision among network players.
abstract: In summary, a common vision requires two elements: a similar view of the external environment and where it is headed, and agreement on how to position the organization--physicians, hospitals, and others--to be successful over the long haul. Developing and embracing a common vision is critically important in moving toward integration or committing to other strategies for surviving and prospering in the future.
