The Hospital of the FutureThe vision • Demonstrable quality performance • Maximum efficiency How do we do this?
The Hospital of the FutureThe modern medical staff • Home team • Hospitalists*, ED docs, intensivists • Maybe radiology, anesthesiology, pathology • Important visitors • Ortho, cardiology, nephrology, etc. • Everyone else • PCPs, endo, rheumatolgy, dermatology, etc. * Hospital medicine, OB-Gyn hospitalists, surgicalists, neurohospitalists, etc. Trotten, MK & Orlikoff, JE, “New Models for Hospital-Physician Relationships”, Trustee Magazine January 2008
The Hospital of the FutureHow to achieve genuine systems integration Hospitalists have to think unconventionally • Doctors traditionally trained to think of just the patient in front of them • How to treat this woman’s complicated delivery? • Hospitalists must think about entire system • How can we best manage the 100 complicated deliveries that we will attend at this year? • How should nursing, pharmacy, the ED be staffed and organized to accomplish this?
The Hospital of the FutureHow to achieve genuine systems integration Home team must act as a unit • All team members collaboratively think through the care delivery tasks • “Outside of the box” thinking results in greater efficiencies and effectiveness • Roles traditionally performed by physicians become responsibility of others • Physicians assume new value added roles
