A Whole System Approach to Problem-Solving

Our vision is for the Arizona health ecosystem to be interconnected, collaborative, and to work jointly for maximum efficiency and impact. In the past, a significant effort was made to integrate technologies, patients, doctors, and services inside a healthcare provider's four walls. Today, public and private organizations must boundary span and transcend silos separating mental, physical, and spiritual health to realize the full benefit of a Whole Connected Healthcare Ecosystem.

Long-Term Alliance Goals

  • Increase the training pipeline and the skills of the healthcare workforce, particularly in AI.

  • Increase access and reduce healthcare disparities in low-income and disadvantaged neighborhoods.

  • Incorporate social determinants into an integrated approach to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.ยท

  • Bring in more R&D and grant funding to Arizona for novel, scalable healthcare solutions.

  • Leverage digital technologies, artificial intelligence, telehealth, and data analytics.

  • Implement new support products and services for personal lifestyle skills to address behavioral, physical, and social determinants of health.  

  • Fully deploy the 988 emergency number to connect people in mental health crises to the appropriate services.
