IDENTIFYING BREAKTHROUGH INNOVATIONS Health systems today are working to improve quality and lower costs. Reducing variation is necessary to accomplish this objective. The Academy medCPU Center for Advanced Solutions in Healthcare is dedicated to accelerating research, development and testing of solutions that effectively reduce clinical, financial and operational variation.
Improving Quality and Lowering Costs at the Point-of-Care The Academy medCPU Center for Advanced Solutions in Healthcare interacts with Top-100 health systems to increase the quality of care and improve clinical, financial and operational performance at the point-of-care. The outputs include identifying gaps, studying solutions, conducting projects and disseminating results.
The Solutions Center Approach The Challenge Top-100 health systems are building a market base to best position themselves for change. At the core of transformation, healthcare risk is being transferred from employers and governments to providers and consumers. To excel in the evolving marketplace, integrated health systems are prioritizing resources to improve their clinical, operational and financial performance at the point-of-care. The Opportunity New technology, sophisticated analytical capabilities and data-driven protocols and processes are facilitating the usefulness of the exponentially increasing streams of clinical, financial and administrative data. Identifying, understanding and addressing variation in clinical and financial outcomes at the point-of-care through high-precision aviation-standard technologies will improve quality and lower costs.
Solutions Center Framework The Process The Academy medCPU Center will: engage leaders in key organizations to identify gaps in clinical, financial and operational point-of-care performance; conduct pilot projects to study, test and refine solutions to fill the gaps across diverse health system environments; disseminate results through case studies, publications and seminars at Academy meetings.
