This week, Mark and Margaret speak with Dr. Wendy Everett, CEO of the Network for Excellence in Health Innovation (NEHI). With a breadth of health care experience spanning several decades, Dr. Everett's vision for NEHI since its founding in 2002 has been to create an independent, research-based organization convening diverse members of the health care industry to achieve the common goal of addressing the most urgent health care issues. Under her leadership, this vision has resulted in ground breaking research on medical innovation, patient safety, health care spending and health care information technology, and has influenced significant national policy changes. Dr. Everett works with public and private policymakers to translate NEHI's research findings into long-term solutions that improve health care quality and lower health care costs.
