COLLABORATION, THE SAME SONG EVERYWHERE!

Every time I turn around, people are championing Collaboration in research, people embrace it as the way to go!  People see it as a broader way to reach new opportunities and prove to the world.  My experience in El Paso has been rather humbling and sad...People here find an invitation to collaborate as a shrewd way to get them, they see competition and threats!
The CRBCM has approached local universities with funded project, so far no result.  I am told it is this kind of communities of researchers.   Every one fight for survival !  We are now talking with University in Arizona.  This is just pitiful!

"Team,

As we have discussed the new normal facing healthcare, we’ve talked about the value of creating strategic partnerships not only to provide highly coordinated care, but also as a way to meet the changing healthcare needs in our community.

Today, I want to tell you about a strategic partnership Inova has entered into with Valley Health System. Our partnership provides for future collaboration in the areas of clinical research, information technology, population health, and clinical service delivery.

The immediate impact of this partnership is Valley Health’s ability to expand its IT capabilities through Inova’s EpicCare platform.

For more information about this partnership, please read the press release that is posted on Inova’s News page.

Thanks,

Mark"
