Center for Healthcare Organization Transformation

医疗保健组织转型(CHOT)I/UCRC的完整中心提案(第一阶段)1034990东北大学；詹姆斯·本内扬东北大学(NEU)寻求加入由德克萨斯农工大学(TAMU)和佐治亚理工学院(佐治亚理工学院)组成的现有I/UCRC医疗组织转型(CHOT)。TAMU是拟议中心的牵头机构，并提议在下一个审查周期增加一个地点(宾夕法尼亚州立大学)。东北大学(NEU)寻求加入现有的卫生组织和转型中心(CHOT)作为第三个地点。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”。纽澳大学将就其成员医院共同关心的问题的解决方案进行应用研究。拟议的网站将在产业界和学术界的接口上工作，以加快系统工程和相关方法的应用，以深刻影响医疗保健系统的改进。NEU的长期研究重点集中在6个核心领域：安全和流程质量、物流、流动和通道、效率和成本、全系统优化以及结果/效果优化。拟议的网站旨在培养工业工程(IE)研究生和本科生，他们具有识别和执行工业工程和运营的有用应用程序的经验，以显著改善医疗保健系统。东北大学网站通过与少数族裔工程项目合作，在解决其研究团队的多样性问题上取得了重大进展。国际和平协会也在与北大招生办公室合作，以确定可能适合参与北大拟议工作的“黄丝带”计划(现代版的“退伍军人法案”)的潜在参与者。东北大学计划通过年度研讨会、时事通讯、网站帖子和期刊出版物来传播知识。

Full Center Proposal (Phase I) for an I/UCRC for Healthcare Organization Transformation (CHOT)1034990 Northeastern University; James BenneyanNortheastern University (NEU) seeks to join the existing I/UCRC "Healthcare Organization Transformation (CHOT)" consisting of Texas A&M (TAMU) and Georgia Tech. TAMU is the lead institution of the proposed Center, and proposes to add an additional site (Penn State) in the next review cycle. Northeastern University (NEU) seeks to join the existing Center for Health Organization and Transformation (CHOT) as a third 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. NEU will conduct applied research on solutions to problems of common interest to its member hospitals. The proposed site will work in the industry-academia interface to accelerate the application of systems engineering and related methods to profoundly impact the improvement of healthcare systems. NEU's long-term research thrusts focus on 6 core areas: safety and process quality, logistics, flow and access, efficiency and costs, system-wide optimization, and outcomes/effectiveness optimization. The proposed site aims to develop both graduate and undergraduate industrial engineering (IE) students experienced in identifying and executing useful applications of industrial engineering and operations to measurably improve healthcare systems. The NEU site has made significant progress to address diversity on its research team by working with its Minority Engineering program. The PI is also working with NEU's admissions office to identify potential participants in the "Yellow Ribbon" program (a modern version of the GI Bill) who could be appropriate for involvement in NEU's proposed work. NEU plans to disseminate knowledge through annual symposia, newsletters, website postings and journal publications.
