Description
Health system C-suite leaders share how they're breaking down the traditional divide between clinical care and research operations to build a truly integrated model. Panelists discuss aligning funding, data infrastructure and leadership incentives across care and research, and what it takes to make integration sustainable rather than a one-time initiative.
