  6. GKEN and meeting the global health crisis • Globally, nations are faced with a health care crisis: rising healthcare costs that threaten system sustainability, human resource shortages, increasingly frustrated consumers, and an absence of shared solutions and cross-country communications. • GKEN believes the best way to meet these global health challenges is: Betteridentification of new and emerging “better practices,” and stronger cross-border and cross-cultural promotion and dissemination of better healthcare system practices, utilizing traditional and non-traditional channels.

  7. Global Knowledge Exchange Network Mission: To improve health and the value of healthcare by comparing and contrasting key drivers and approaches to addressing healthcare costs and outcomes across the globe, with a goal of identifying and promoting successful, relevant, and replicable strategies.
