I/UCRC for Center for Healthcare Organization Transformation

宾夕法尼亚州立大学(PSU)寻求加入由德克萨斯农工大学(TAMU)、佐治亚理工学院和东北大学组成的现有I/UCRC“医疗组织转型(CHIT)”。TAMU是现有中心的牵头机构。宾夕法尼亚州立大学(PSU)寻求加入现有的卫生组织和转型中心(CHOT)作为第四个地点。CHIT成立于2008年，目的是在医疗保健系统中“对变革性干预措施和战略的前因、执行和影响进行混合方法和应用研究，这些措施和战略结合了循证管理、临床和信息技术创新以及持续的组织学习和文化变革”。PSU将开发和使用系统原则来指导研究，以有效地改变医疗保健提供。一个重要的重点将是变革性的影响以及定量的测量和分析，即提供者、付款人和患者。这可以通过精益、六西格玛或疾病管理等以变革为重点的干预措施来形成。然而，为了加速变革，研究将广泛地指向组织绩效、变革和变革技术发展，与CHIT同步。拟议的网站将开发变革性的方法，在其合作伙伴医疗组织中进行演示，并向地区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。拟议的网站将以医疗保健流程卓越为主题进行跨学科研究。该网站的核心教员已经建立了跨多个单位合作的强大历史，将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(预计来自网站的潜在成员)将加强成果的传播。预计还将通过专业和学术协会和会议以及特别研讨会进行传播。拟议的网站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.
