title: Is experience overrated?
abstract: Major transitions and transformations are in our future as we begin to implement the various changes in the new health care reform environment. New programs developed with old thinking and leaders who have filtered their thinking through previous models will not be successful. We need people with a variety of experience to help us see our way through the new forest of health care reform--many of those could be outsiders. Outsiders can be very successful if health care leaders can be open to different and successful models that have been effective elsewhere. e must find these people and successfully recruit them to our organizations.
