Thank you to the COE for allowing Partners
Trainee’s like myself with the opportunity to complete the Harvard Business
Schools’ Value Based Healthcare Course. The three-day course brings trainees
from the hospital wards, the research labs and the administrative offices
together.
The course taught us about creating value
in healthcare, measuring outcomes that matter to patients and working in
integrated practise units (IPU’s). At the core concept of IPU’s are engineering
healthcare/teams around the patients’ needs rather than expecting a patient to
fit into the traditional healthcare delivery model.
During the course presenters discussed
collaborations between administrators, clinical staff and researchers to drive
projects related to value-based healthcare. Just like an IPU being engineered
around a patient these researchers had engineered a team around their research
topic.
In many institutions’ trainees are
separated into their respective areas with little interaction. Rarely do
research, clinical and administrative trainees interact or collaborate. That is
something that we can change!
