... Finally, she described engagement as going beyond having a conversation to understanding each other's perspectives and adapting behaviors and practices to meet each other's priorities more effectively. A FOCUS ON GOALS AND AUTHENTIC PARTNERSHIPS Reshma Gupta, chief of population health and accountable care at University of California Davis Health, a member of the University of California Health's population health steering body, and co-director of Costs of Care, Inc., began her presentation by noting her positions as a practicing internist, trained health services researcher, and a member of the population health leadership team across all University of California Health campuses.

... Gupta explained that for a study to impact the community, health system, or partner organizations, investigators must grasp the historical context and root causes of the problem they are trying to address before they jump to developing solutions.

... Nease explained that the process of collaborating with research partners is not necessarily about reaching consensus, but it is to ensure that no one group dominates the process and everyone involved can see their effect on the final product. Kothari asked Gupta if she could speak from her perspective and experience about whether there are points in the dissemination and implementation of research findings where she finds it most critical to engage partners and if so, if there are specific partners that are critical to engage at specific points in the research process.
