WHAT WE DO Collaboration and Networking:  Collaboration and networking are the primary purpose of the Scottsdale Institute, and are emphasized throughout all SI Programs. Leading provider organizations join SI to share what they have learned about enabling their organizations quality improvement, process redesign, outcomes, and cost-structure initiatives through information technology, and to learn from other leaders. Members can also form collaboratives on topics of their own choosing that are project or discussion-based. Teleconferences:  Anyone in a member organization can participate in weekly teleconference presentations and discussions at no charge. These sessions allow for open dialog, Q&A, and follow-up contacts; the content is top-notch and practical. In 2010, 8000 member associates participated in 78 teleconference sessions. Conferences and Forums:  In-person conferences foster interaction among executive peers and other leaders. The goal is informal, open dialog and a venue for sharing accomplishments, results and learning. Members can download all past conference materials.
