Kings Fund 9 May 2017
- As the NHS seeks to move away from competition towards integration and to develop new models of care, individuals and organisations across the health and care system need to learn to work together to make the best use of collective skills and knowledge.
- This paper offers those who are leading new systems of care some guidance on how to address the challenges they face. It draws on the Fund’s work on the development of new care models, sustainability and transformation plans, and accountable care organisations.
- The paper details five factors that facilitate system leadership:
- develop a shared vision and purpose
- have frequent personal contact
- surface and resolve conflicts
- behave altruistically towards each other
- commit to working together for the longer term
