Phase II IUCRC University of Washington Site Addition: Center for Health Organization Transformation (CHOT)

华盛顿大学工业、系统工程和卫生服务系是卫生组织转型中心(CHOT)的大学网站成员。CHOT的使命是促进循证管理和临床实践中对转型策略的认识和实践。CHIT在大学、卫生系统和其他与卫生相关的行业之间开展合作研究，以推进和联系创新研究中的系统设计和技术，以促进卫生保健的发展。UW网站(CHOT-UW)专注于改善技术与医疗保健提供的集成的研究；具体地说，CHOT-UW致力于推动远程医疗、系统分析和风险建模以及医疗保健运营创新的应用。CHOT-UW的研究团队是多学科的，并在整个大学范围内进行合作。CHOT-UW行业合作伙伴代表的合作将影响整个太平洋西北部以及全国的医疗保健服务。CHOT-UW扩大了CHIT？S现有的研究能力，增加了其在西方的地理存在，并扩大了IAB的技术存在。此外，CHOT-UW为研究生和本科生提供了更多参加应用研究项目的教育机会。CHOT和CHOT-UW携手合作，在医疗保健领域取得技术突破和进步。华盛顿大学工业、系统工程和卫生服务系建议加入卫生组织转型中心(CHOT)作为大学网站(CHOT-UW)。Chot-UW？S研究的焦点是技术和医疗服务的整合。随着系统工程原理在医疗保健领域度过早期采用者阶段，研究议程需要转向一种更跨学科的方法--一种结合了与系统重新设计相关的人力和经济因素的方法，以完全支持以下目标：(1)改善患者的护理体验(包括质量和满意度)；(2)改善人口健康；(3)降低人均医疗成本。美国最近的医疗改革努力试图解决这些系统性问题。然而，为了进一步改善卫生系统，重要的是要了解影响从跨学科方法获得和协调护理的复杂系统。来自工程和卫生服务的核心研究团队将得到信息学、初级保健技术和公共卫生分析方面的教师专业知识的补充。该团队带来了广泛的理论和应用知识，并准备提供可实施的研究成果，从而实现高效、高质量、以患者为中心的护理，同时采取技术知情的方法，为决策支持、反馈和流程重组机制的发展提供信息。

The University of Washington Departments of Industrial and Systems Engineering and Health Services is a university site member of the Center for Health Organization Transformation (CHOT). The mission of CHOT is to advance the knowledge and practice of transformational strategies in evidence-based management and clinical practice. CHOT conducts cooperative research among universities, health systems and other health-related industries to advance and link system design and technologies in innovative research to advance healthcare. The UW site (CHOT-UW) focuses on research to improve the integration of technology and healthcare delivery; specifically, CHOT-UW works to advance the application of telehealth, system analytics and risk modeling, and healthcare operational innovations. The CHOT-UW research team is multidisciplinary and collaborates across the University. CHOT-UW industry partners represent a collaboration that will impact healthcare delivery throughout the Pacific Northwest as well as nationally. CHOT-UW expands CHOT?s existing research capacity, increases its geographic presence in the West and broadens the technology presence on the IAB. In addition, CHOT-UW provides enhanced educational opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to participate in an applied research program. CHOT and CHOT-UW work together to make technological breakthroughs and advances in the field of healthcare. The University of Washington Departments of Industrial and Systems Engineering and Health Services proposes to join the Center for Health Organization Transformation (CHOT) as a university site (CHOT-UW). CHOT-UW?s the research focus is at the integration of technology and healthcare delivery. As systems engineering principles move past the early-adopter stage in the healthcare sector, the research agenda needs to shift toward a more interdisciplinary approach?one that incorporates both the human and economic factors associated with system redesign, in a way that fully supports the goals of (1) improving patient experience of care (including quality and satisfaction); (2) improving population health; and (3) reducing the per capita cost of healthcare. Recent US health care reform efforts attempt to address these systemic issues. However, to further achieve health system improvements, it is important to understand the complex systems that affect access to and coordination of care from an interdisciplinary approach. The core research team from engineering and health services will be supplemented with faculty expertise in informatics and primary-care technology and public health analytics. This team brings a breadth of theoretical as well as applied knowledge and are prepared to deliver implementable research findings that result in efficient, high-quality, patient-centered care while taking a technically-informed approach to inform the development of decision-support, feedback and process re-engineering mechanisms.
