13. Principles
• Incorporate well-defined, reliable, systems-based workflows into
routine care provision to ensure consistent delivery;
• Define clear, accountable responsibilities for each team member;
• Implement foundational digital health tools to facilitate decision
support, tracking of adherence to the system of care, and real-time
updates to patient records; and
• Align team incentives so that each member is vested in improving
the quality of care and health of patients, thereby controlling the
total cost of care.
