Collaborative Research: Center for Health Organization Transformation

德克萨斯农工大学系统（牵头机构）的I/UCRC卫生组织转型全中心提案（第一阶段）；Larry Gamm 0832390佐治亚理工学院；Eva Lee德克萨斯州A & M健康科学中心和佐治亚理工学院提议成立一个“卫生组织转型中心”（CHOT），以结合循证管理、临床和信息技术创新、持续的组织学习和文化变革，对转型干预和战略的前因、执行和效果进行混合方法、应用研究。拟议的工作可以改善卫生保健质量，并在提供卫生保健方面更有效地利用财政和系统资源。这项研究的目的是在一个关键的行业中产生变革，提议的团队提出了一个可信的案例，即问题的范围表明需要进行整个系统的变革。由于医疗保健部门是美国经济的重要组成部分，因此在该部门内更有效地利用资源可能对经济产生积极影响。更具体地说，建议的研究将有利于病人护理的质量，医疗保健服务系统的运作效率，和劳动力转型。这些成功将通过中心的工业合作伙伴以及中心主任和调查人员在全国的实践卫生系统中宣传。拟议中心的研究团队由不同的研究教师和研究生组成，与卫生系统领导人密切合作。该中心的活动将支持提高硕士和博士水平的教育和研究。将通过专业和学术协会和会议以及其他机制进行更广泛的传播。这两所学校都致力于包容多元化的教师和学生群体。

Full Center Proposal (Phase I) for an I/UCRC for Health Organization Transformation 0832439 Texas A&M University System (lead institution); Larry Gamm 0832390 Georgia Institute of Technology; Eva Lee Texas A &M Health Science Center and Georgia Tech propose a center "Center for Health Organization Transformation"(CHOT)to conduct mixed methodology, applied research on the antecedents, execution, and effects of transformational interventions and strategies that combine evidence-based management, clinical and information technology innovations, and ongoing organizational learning and cultural change. The proposed work can result in improved health care quality and more effective use of financial and system resources in the delivery of health care. The research is designed to produce transformation in a critical industry, and the proposed team makes a credible case that the scope of the problem indicates a need for whole-system, transformative change.Since the health care sector is a significant segment of the US economy, enabling more effective use of resources within this sector could positively impact the economy. More specifically, the proposed research will benefit quality of patient care, operations efficiency of the healthcare delivery systems, and workforce transformation. These successes will be propagateda cross the practicing health systems in the nation through the center's industrial partners as well as the center directors and investigators.Research teams for the proposed center are made up of a diverse set of research faculty and graduate students,working closely with health system leaders. The center activities will support improvements in both masters' and doctoral level education and research. Broader dissemination will occur via professional and academic associations and conferences,and other mechanisms. Both schools are committed to inclusion of a diverse faculty and student body.
