As the world of health care continues to evolve, those responsible for providing care must look at their roles and practices, and evaluate themselves against the needs and demands of the health care system of the future. This system of the future will require significantly more involvement on the part of consumers, and will operate in an environment with a relentless focus on reducing costs, improving quality and access to care, and improving the perceived satisfaction of both patients and caregivers. It will require those who deliver care to focus on developing innovative ways of providing this care. An organizational approach to learning and development, with a focus on innovation and creativity will become essential. To meet these goals for health care, we must focus on the professional development of leaders and staff members, their ability to continually reinvent their approach to providing care and developing their skills to support the attainment of the organization's goals.
