Description: The Healthcare industry is undergoing many transformational and disruptive challenges because of advances in medical and informational technologies and the emergence of new paradigms and models for healthcare delivery. Healthcare leaders in the US face challenges that include public reporting of quality and safety outcomes, new payment models based on delivery of value, the introduction of artificial intelligence into clinical care and operations, competition from new access channels such as retail care clinics and virtual care, remote patient monitoring, and the rise of consumerism in healthcare. These disruptors impact all components of the healthcare value chain, including R&D, manufacturing & supply chain, technology & data analytics, payors, providers, healthcare systems, care delivery, and patients. Approached from the perspective of leaders of healthcare systems and providers of care, this elective aims to help students develop an approach to understanding and dealing with these transformational challenges.
Specifically, the course provides a conceptual framework based on High Reliability Organizations (HROs) to identify key attributes necessary to manage transformational challenges. Several specific “healthcare disruptors” provide the setting to discuss and illustrate these concepts.
