Below are 3 questions often raised by patients, health insurance stakeholders, and care providers.  What are the answers HCO leaders should convey?  (This discussion board references Chapter 5 content).

1. How do I know care here is any good?
2. Why are the six dimensions (care is safe, effective, patient centered, timely, efficient, and equitable) of excellence necessary?
3. Why is it important that patients have an inter-professional team with perspectives from various health professionals?

• This original post should be no less than 330 words.
• No direct quotes.  This should be written in your own words of your understanding of the materials.  Paraphrasing needs to be referenced with in-text citations and the source referenced at the bottom of the post.
• Be sure that you proof-read as you will not be able to edit your post or resubmit your post once it has been turned in.
• Failure to use in-text citations and/or list references when using sources results in plagiarism and a zero for the discussion board assignment.  Again, your textbook is your main source.
