Coordinating and Communicating

• Different people on different projects become
  exclusive and that results in an imbalance of
  power
• Build networks, share ideas, build together,
  recognize each persons contributions
• Need to share common mission and goals refocus
  on as needed

Documentation

• More than medical records
• Where have we been? Where are we? Where are we
  going?
• Need data to reflect and plan to justify
  change, to get buy-in, to justify grant
