Multi-University Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Health Management

卫生管理研究中心于1992年7月被国家科学基金指定为产学研合作研究中心。健康管理研究中心的最初目标是：1)与企业成员合作制定研究议程；2)代表会员单位承担研究、开发、评估项目；3)向成员散发卫生服务研究的结果；4)识别并向会员传播其他医疗机构的成功创新和管理实践；5)识别并向会员传播其他行业和国家的相关研究成果、成功创新和管理实践。该中心的愿景继续完善，以支持其企业成员，因为他们寻求适应一个复杂的，具有挑战性的，动荡的环境。该奖项为扩大健康管理研究中心提供资金。与美国国家科学基金会、西北大学的研究人员和一些值得注意的卫生保健组织进行了持续的讨论，最终决定加入以西北为基础的健康管理中心，并成为一个附属的研究网站，由一个单一的行业咨询委员会管理。由此产生的健康管理研究中心将大大增加其企业成员的补充和随之而来的财政支持基础。通过这个更大的基础，研究的影响力可能会得到增强，我们的学术同事可以接触到更多的高质量组织，公司成员也有更多的同事可以与他们分享经验和学习。

Abstract EEC-9604480 Shortell The Center for Health Management Research was designated as an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center by the National Science Foundation in July 1992. The initial goals of the Center for Health Management Research were: 1) to develop a research agenda in collaboration with corporate members; 2) to undertake research, development, and evaluation projects on behalf of the corporate members; 3)to disseminate to the members findings of health services research; 4) to identify and disseminate to the members successful innovations and management practices from other health care organizations; and 5) to identify and disseminate to the members relevant research findings successful innovations and management practices from other industries and countries. The vision of the Center continues to be refined in order to support its corporate members as they seek to adapt to a complex, challenging, and turbulent environment. This award provides funding to expand the Center for Health Management Research. Continuing discussion with NSF, researchers from Northwestern University, and a number of noteworthy health care organizations has led to a decision to join the Northwestern-based group to the Center for Health Management and become an affiliated research site, governed by a single Industry Advisory Board. The resultant Center for Health Management Research would substantially increase its complement of corporate members and its attendant financial support base. The influence of the research would likely be enhanced through this larger base, our academic colleagues gain access to a larger set of high-quality organizations, and corporate members have a larger set of colleagues with whom to share experiences and learnings.
