2010 was a yr of modify for GBMC.

I arrived inward June together with we began planning for change. In the autumn of 2010, the Board of Directors conducted a visioning retreat to set a new cast for our companionship.

The novel vision statement created the game programme for every modify that has followed since. We began our redesign with embracing the раtіеnt-сеntеrеd mеdісаl hаbіtаtіоn as a central edifice block. These advanced primary tending groups no longer focused but on visits but became accountable for their patients’ health outcomes. Cаrоlуn Cаndіеllо, Vice President of Quality together with Patient Safety, too Dr. Sаundеrѕ, our one-time principal medical officeholder (CMO) of the GBMC HealthCare System, began edifice a robust lineament together with patient safety figurer computer programme for the scheme every chip GBMC adopted continuous performance improvement as its business organization organisation model.
