Healthcare Delivery Environments of the Future

What will healthcare delivery environments of the future look like?

Here is a possibility based on successful realization of Ascension Health's Call to Action:

• Provides all persons with equitable access to care



• Offers adaptable places and means of healthcare delivery, including a rationally designed care continuum



• Ensures a patient-focused experience with extraordinary service, safety and quality



• Empowers healthcare professionals to take care of patients, not paperwork



• Integrates new technologies that deliver useful information at the point-of-care and provide high quality at a low cost



• Is supported by a healthcare financing system that rewards efficiency and quality



• Is built upon continuous improvement and sharing best practices

We believe powerful forces are converging that will provide Ascension Health a unique opportunity to use our gifts as a platform to transform the delivery of healthcare and to set the stage for future generations.

No less than a revolution is worthy in the name of Him who calls us, those who commission us and those who desperately need us.
