Testimonial “I joined the Facility Engagement Initiative over a year ago, because I had ideas for improving physician involvement, collaboration, and participation, within and between physician groups, with the Administration, and with other hospital professionals. Within a year, my ideas were implemented and being used by several departments for simulation training and enrichment meetings. I don’t think there would be as much, or possibly any, participation if it were not for this Initiative. Now, as I go about my clinical day, I am always wondering how processes and practices could be improved with help from the Initiative.” Dr. Lia Harris VJHPS Working Group Women’s & Children’s Health Services
