  12. Our Challenge It boils down to two words – Frontline leadership

  13. Frontline Leadership Leading on change, leading on health For our patients and members, our communities, our union movement, our families, ourselves….

  14. Frontline Leadership

  15. Our Goal To create a public face for our unions to show our commitment to leading on public health and shared prosperity.

  16. Total Health: Advice from the first physician “Eating alone will not keep man well; he must also take exercise, for food and exercise work together to produce health.” – Hippocrates, 460 BC – 370 BC

  17. What It Will Take to Win A culture of engagement, learning, accountability and change….

  18. Our Stark Choice The choice is stark: chop or improve. “If we permit chopping, I assure you that the chopping block will get very full – first with cuts to the most voiceless and poorest of us, but, soon after, to more and more of us. Fewer health insurance benefits, declining access, more out-of-pocket burdens, and growing delays. If we don’t improve, the cynics win.” - Don Berwick, past administrator, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

  19. Chop or Improve? We know from documented experience that the best way to create value is through an engaged workforce and continuous improvement. Taking the waste, cost, errors, and inefficiencies out of the system can only be done at the front line, by a respected and secure workforce.

  20. Our Response • Improve quality, service, safety and efficiency while preserving best place to work • Grow KP to protect our model of care, our unions and our jobs • Improve the health of our workforce • Improve the health of our communities
