Planning Grant: I/UCRC for Center for Healthcare Organization Transformation

IIP 0968971宾夕法尼亚州立大学Nembhard宾夕法尼亚州立大学(PSU)最近启动了综合医疗保健提供系统中心(CIHDS)，并计划加入名为“卫生组织和转型中心(CHIT)”的产业/大学合作研究中心(I/UCRC)，该中心目前是一个由德克萨斯农工大学(牵头机构)和佐治亚理工学院组成的多所大学中心。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将通过关注医疗流程的质量、效率和有效性，并将这些流程与医疗信息转换技术整合到一个现代协调系统中，成为美国医疗服务提供转型的催化剂。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。CIHDS的核心教员在跨多个单位合作、将医疗保健提供者作为应用研究的合作伙伴以及与学生密切合作以满足相关行业合作伙伴的研究需求方面已经积累了丰富的经验。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。

IIP 0968971Pennsylvania State UniversityNembhardThe Pennsylvania State University (PSU) has recently launched the Center for Integrated Healthcare Delivery Systems (CIHDS) and plans to join the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) entitled "Center for Health Organization and Transformation (CHOT)" which currently is a multi- university center comprised of Texas A & M (lead institution) and Georgia Tech. 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 ccultural change" in healthcare systems. PSU will serve as a catalyst for transformational change in US healthcare delivery through a focus on quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of care processes and the integration of these processes with health information transformation technologies into a modern coordinated system. 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. CIHDS' 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.
