HCB News: Healthcare continues to push away from fee-for-service toward value-based care. Are you seeing those efforts manifest at UPMC Children's?
DH: The pediatric world, I believe, is lagging a bit with that. There's certainly a focus on what we can do for value-based care, but primarily it's Medicare driven right now.
We have started a clinically-integrated network, so we are working on some of these issues, and the focus is really on prevention. It's ensuring that we can prevent illnesses with certain populations, and how we can help manage the populations better. We aren't as far along in some of the areas as maybe the adult world.

HCB News: Over your career, what is one of the most important lessons you've learned?
DH: I think the most important lesson I've learned over time is the importance of surrounding yourself with great people and great teams in a great healthcare system. Here at UPMC, we have the privilege of working with the amount of resources and the amount of investments that are made within a great system.
During these past two years, more than ever I've realized the importance of the teams who were committed and dedicated and caring. It helps carry you through very challenging and difficult times. These great teams and great people, they put the hospital and the care of the children above themselves, because they're doing what's right.
