title: Creating a learning culture for quality and leadership. Panel discussion.
abstract: Today's fast-changing health care environment requires adept and knowledgeable leadership. Leaders must develop consistent standards across the organization to ensure quality and operational excellence. This will require the adoption of new skill sets and behaviors by clinicians and other employees. Leaders, too, will need to develop new skills and behaviors to effectively implement positive change. Health Forum convened a group of health care executives and industry experts July 13 in San Francisco to examine how hospital leaders can build and disseminate a consistent quality culture throughout the organization. Health Forum would like to thank all of the participants for their open and candid discussion, as well as GE Healthcare for sponsoring this event.
