Episode 12
Coproduction and macrosystems of healthcare
April and Doug bring their long familiarity to describe the transformative change when the indigenous community became the “customer-owners,” as they now call the members of the Native American community. They explore the way commonly occurring meetings happen and some of the implications for their work as executive-persons in the setting. April describes what it’s like getting a professional-person’s help for a problem. Doug describes some of the data that is used to measure the changes that have occurred since the change.
