Parinda Khatri on Barriers to Integrated Care

Parinda Khatri, MD, Chief Clinical Officer at Cherokee Health Systems and a member of our Stakeholder Advisory Group, was interviewed recently by NEJM Catalyst for their article on Care Redesign. Among the many insightful things she says is:

"We used to go around the country and explain why integration is important — really having to explain the need. Everyone now knows why; they just want to know how.”

Of course, that is the main reason we are doing the IBH-PC project - to sort out how best to achieve high-quality integration. Cherokee is an exemplar of excellent integration and has served as a model for our own efforts. It's good to see Parinda and company get the credit they deserve!
