Health care reform is an issue on the minds of many Americans and an especially frequent topic of discussion these days. ASU recently contributed to this critical dialogue by partnering with the Mayo Clinic and The Project for Arizona's Future to host the Southwest Conference for Health Care Reform.  Health care, government, business and education leaders came together on the Tempe campus to draw awareness to the need for patient-focused reform, and I had the opportunity to speak to the group about the importance of formulating thoughtful and comprehensive strategies to meet the complex challenges involved, as well as ASU's efforts to create meaningful progress in this area. Our School of Health Management and Policy, College of Nursing and Health Care Innovation, Department of Biomedical Informatics and others are engaged actively in creating the type of change needed.  I invite interested readers to check out the archived webcasts of each session on the conference web site and to think about attending the Second Annual Health Economics and Policy Lecture at ASU on November 21.
