AI Article Synopsis
- Significant operational reform is essential for healthcare organizations to effectively implement new financing models and payment systems.
- The proposed "care platform" framework re-organizes healthcare delivery around similar types of work instead of focusing solely on specific organs or specialties, aiming to enhance quality and efficiency.
- This new structure necessitates evolving roles for physicians, integrating both standard and custom care processes with tailored information and business systems.
Article Abstract
Without significant operational reform within the nation's health care delivery organizations, new financing models, payment systems, or structures are unlikely to realize their promise. Adapting insights from high-performing companies in other high-risk, high-cost, science- and technology-based industries, we propose the "care platform" as an organizing framework for internal operations in diversified provider organizations to increase the quality, reliability, and efficiency of care delivery. A care platform organizes "care production" around similar work, rather than organs or specialties; integrates standard and custom care processes; and surrounds them with specifically configured information and business systems. Such organizational designs imply new roles for physicians.
