Chris Trimble in conversation with Carl Heltne, Chief Medical Officer (Retired) of Essentia Health, which operates across four states with a concentration in Minnesota. Heltne's work demonstrates that deploying full time teams focused on particular patient populations is an idea that has been around for a long time. His effort, focused on patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), launced in the late 1990s and is still delivering outstanding results today.
