About this Event

About Your Webjournal
This website is a record of the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) for the State of Florida Session proceedings, concepts, and key ideas. Its purpose is to help each participant remember and reconnect with the ideas, the process and stimulate new ideas. These pages document highlights and ideas. It includes video and word-for-word transcription (within the bounds of transcribing accuracy). Written documentation (even if highly accurate) loses all of the gestures and vocal inflections which make up a significant part of the signal the speaker is sending. Therefore, for the best understanding, you should use the video capture as well as the written documentation.

A Neutral Environment
The VCBH Innovation Center creates a neutral, supportive environment where participants are encouraged to speak with candor and voice strong opinions without worry of possible repercussions. Keep this in mind as you read. As part of the event process, people are asked to model many conditions, some of which are extreme. Participants are asked to assume these are true as a brainstorming technique to gain insight. The documentation must be read whole. It must be realized that a period of investigation and analysis will be required prior to implementation of any ideas.

Fiduciary Responsibility
We all recognize that the participants and staff have a fiduciary responsibility to each other, their colleagues, their organizations, and their community, regarding the dissemination of the information in this website. This requires the highest possible standard of care to assure that context and completeness are transferred along with specific data and information. When you share this work with people who were not at the planning session, share with them the responsibility of not taking ideas out of context. Any non-participant using this website should assume this responsibility as well.
