You are making your choice at a dynamic time in health care, when care itself, its delivery, and the mechanism for paying for that care are all going through a monumental shift; it is, I believe, resulting in a transformation of our profession. At Dartmouth-Hitchcock, within our Culture of Caring, we are helping to lead that transformation. We are on a path to create a sustainable health system, to improve the lives of the people and communities we serve, for generations to come. Our focus is on health, not just health care, collaboration, not competition with our health system colleagues, and new and vibrant partnerships to improve care, improve health, and lower costs. Dartmouth-Hitchcock is no stranger to leading change and improvement in care. With our colleagues at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice (TDI), we have been studying and writing about the practice and patterns of care for 30 years. More importantly, we have been integrating that learning into the way we deliver care. We are the home of the first-in-the-nation Center for Shared Decision Making, where patients become partners in making informed choices about their care, and the first interdisciplinary Spine Colebrook Center, where patients’ own reports on the outcomes of their treatment are incorporated into the data and measures we use to improve care.
