Abstract

A close partnership between care delivery and research organizations has the potential to provide essential elements needed to optimize health and health care. This clinical leadership panel, held during the 14th Annual Health Maintenance Organization Research Network (HMORN) Conference, identifies the value, opportunities and challenges of those close partnerships between three HMORN care delivery and research organizations. The objectives of this plenary session were: (1) identify the important facets of partnership that bring value to care delivery and research, (2) pinpoint the critical alignments of care delivery and research that are needed to fulfill the promised value between clinical and research organizations, and (3) recognize the challenges that clinical and research organizations need to address.
