I saw an article recently in Modern Healthcare magazine that spoke about “Outpatient Outlook” and focused on subjects relating to outpatient care today. Some of the areas were the transition from inpatient procedures to outpatient procedures and patient safety. One quote really caught my eye. One of the panelists, Marty Bonick, President and CEO of Jewish Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky. Bonick coined the term “collapetition,” which he defined as collaborating and competing at the same time. It occurred to me that “collapetition” is happening in Mendocino County. You may have seen a copy of the magazine that it pictured in this post called “Life & Health” magazine.
