The Dartmouth Symposium on Health Care Delivery Science March 26-27, 2018 Grand Ballroom, Hanover Inn, Hanover, NH Health Care Transformation Playbook: How to Implement Organizational Change in an Uncertain Environment Welcome to our Symposium at Dartmouth College It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 5th Annual Dartmouth Symposium on Health Care Delivery Science. Reflecting on the origins of this event, I’m struck by the boldness of the Class of 2013, who not only took a chance on a new program in a new field but, upon completing it, recognized the need for an annual event to bring alumni together to continue to learn from one another and generously contributed seed funding to launch the symposium. More than just a forum for disseminating knowledge in our field, the symposium functions as a mini-reunion, helping to maintain class bonds and knit new relationships across classes. It’s tempting to speculate that the Class of 2013 couldn’t have imagined the pivotal role this event would come to play in our alumni programming but, this group has a vision. Over the next two days, you will hear from over twenty presenters representing a cross-section of MHCDS alumni and their colleagues. Behind the scenes, members of every class have been working to plan this content for nearly a year. And, as audience members, your participation is critical to our success. As our alumni family grows and registration increases, we want to maintain the intimacy and sense of community that characterize the symposium. You’ll notice some new session formats this year; we hope they will facilitate lively dialog. We tried hard to make the programming varied, dynamic, and interactive all of which should lead to insightful discussions and initiate new cross- class connections. Welcome to Hanover and enjoy the Health Care Transformation Playbook!
