SERCN Collaborative Principles for Working Together
Learn from each other and magnify successes across the region
Credit and recognize people for the work they do
Be mutually committed to collaboration
Create an environment of trust and transparency
Build a clearinghouse of best practices and scalable models
Have regular communication including a yearly in person meeting and quarterly conference call
Be informed and mindful of each other's time constraints and competing priorities
Employ a clover leaf style of communication. SERCN will trust primary care associations to select priorities and we will value bidirectional communication where the hub is not the most important or the originator of ideas.
