I/UCRC for Center for Healthcare Organization Transformation

宾夕法尼亚州立大学 (PSU) 寻求加入现有的 I/UCRC“医疗保健组织转型 (CHOT)”，该组织由德克萨斯农工大学 (TAMU)、佐治亚理工学院和东北大学组成。 TAMU 是现有中心的牵头机构。宾夕法尼亚州立大学 (PSU) 寻求加入现有的健康组织和转型中心 (CHOT)，作为第四个站点。 CHOT 成立于 2008 年，旨在“对医疗保健系统中结合循证管理、临床和信息技术创新以及持续的组织学习和文化变革的转型干预措施和策略的前因、执行和效果进行混合方法和应用研究”。 PSU 将开发并使用系统原理来指导研究，以有效地改变医疗保健服务。重点将放在提供者、付款人和患者的变革性影响以及定量测量和分析上。这可以通过以转型为重点的干预措施（例如精益、六西格玛或疾病管理）来实现。然而，为了加速变革，研究将广泛针对组织绩效、转型和转型技术开发，与 CHOT 同步。拟议的网站将开发变革性方法，在其合作医疗保健组织中展示这些方法，并向区域和国家医疗保健首席执行官、首席财务官和首席信息官传播基于证据的方法。拟议的地点将以卓越医疗流程为主题进行跨学科研究。该中心的核心教师已经在多个单位之间建立了良好的合作历史，让医疗保健提供者作为应用研究的合作伙伴，并与学生密切合作以满足相关行业合作伙伴的研究需求。广泛的参与范围（预计该网站的潜在成员）将加强结果的传播。预计还将通过专业和学术协会、会议以及特别研讨会进行传播。拟议的站点计划吸引来自不同和/或代表性不足群体的学生和合作伙伴。

Pennsylvania State University (PSU) seeks to join the existing I/UCRC "Healthcare Organization Transformation (CHOT)" consisting of Texas A&M (TAMU), Georgia Tech AND Northeastern University. TAMU is the lead institution of the existing Center. Pennsylvania State University (PSU) seeks to join the existing Center for Health Organization and Transformation (CHOT) as a fourth site. CHOT was established in 2008 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 on-going organizational learning and cultural change" in healthcare systems. PSU will develop and use systems principles to guide research to effectively transform healthcare delivery. A significant focus will be on transformative impact and quantitative measurements and analysis or the providers, payors, and patients. This may take form through transformation-focused interventions such as lean, six-sigma, or disease management. However, in order to accelerate change, research will be broadly directed toward organizational performance, transformation, and transformation technology development, in synch with CHOT. The proposed site will develop transformative approaches, demonstrate them in its partner healthcare organizations, and disseminate evidence-based approaches to regional and national healthcare CEOs, CFOs and CIOs. The proposed site will conduct interdisciplinary research with the theme of healthcare process excellence. The site's core faculty have already developed a strong history of working collaboratively across multiple units, engaging healthcare providers as partners in applied research, and working closely with students to address research needs of the relevant industry partners. The wide scope of participation (expected from the potential members of the site) will enhance dissemination of results. Dissemination is also expected to occur via professional and academic associations and conferences, and special symposia. The proposed site plans to engage students and partners from diverse and/or under-represented groups.
