Our fiscal responsibility as stewards of a limited resource is as important as delivering high-quality care. We need to anticipate and prepare for inevitable changes in our operating environment. We are not looking for business as usual. We have to challenge what we are going and now, and look for ways to capitalize on our individual and collective strengths while improving our financial health while maintaining or enhancing service, quality, and safety. We will leverage best practices and strive to achieve standardization.
