Building a Collaborative Enterprise

The July-August edition of the "Harvard Business Review" released an article in its latest publication titled "Building a Collaborative Enterprise" addressing "four keys to creating a culture of trust and teamwork". ICC recognizes the talent of its collaborative and encourages the participants through the collective mission of providing knowledge, insight in conjunction with shared patient information to the Central Texas Health Care Communities. The Integrated Care Collaboration can be both innovative and efficient through collective principles, innovative thinking and a coordinated effort for retrieving and defining data. In his article, Paul Adler who is a professor at the Marshall School of Business of the University of Southern California has clearly defined what the ICC is already doing and he has clearly articulated the philosophy of the ICC.

The Integrated Care Collaboration (ICC) has evolved over the years to become recognizable in the arena of Healthcare Analytics.
