Abstract: Abstract Population health initiatives are notoriously difficult to realize for reasons of scope and their often cross-functional support requirements. This case, initiated in Washington, DC, targeted the fragile patient population of chronic opiate addicts (and their families). It reveals a number of the themes from Part I, particularly the power of a vision, the need for strong leadership, the flexibility to manage through expected/unexpected challenges, the importance of current capabilities, and the need to develop tactical (short-term) as well as transformational (long-term) initiatives.
