  1. Balancing the Research Portfolio Jerome H. Grossman, MD Director, Health Care Delivery Policy Program Harvard University JFK School of Government October 28, 2003

  2. Economic and Societal Changes • Zuboff (1988) – In the Age of the Smart Machine • Giddens (1988) – The Third Way: The Renewal of Social Democracy • Rivlin (2002) – Challenges of Modern Capitalism

  3. Elements of Healthcare Delivery • Starr (1982) – The Social Transformation of Medicine • Fuchs (1996) – Individual and Social Responsibility • Institute of Medicine (2000/01) – To Err is Human, Crossing the Quality Chasm

  10. Evolving Role of Insurers • Catastrophic care • Disease management • Pay for performance • Tools for consumer education

  11. Care for the Future Source: Boston Globe

  12. The Genome of Productivity • Measurement of quality and efficiency • Patient (biosensors, micro-systems) • EMR, CPOE (CAD/CAM) • Organization (scheduling, queuing) • Environment (regulation, policy, homeland security)

  13. Keeping Patients Connected Source: Boston Globe

  14. Barriers to Progress • Medical industrial complex • Provider as professional/patient as passive • Lack of oversight • Fragmented health care system • Reform proposals not founded on research • Healthcare delivery vs. medical care

  15. What Hasn’t Happened Medical Injuries Cost Billions Every Year Researchers studying health-care quality have concluded that medical injuries caused during hospital stay kill tens of thousands of patients annually, requiring at least 2.4 billion extra hospital days resulting in potential medical charges of $9.3 billion. The work underscores both the scope of the problem and the relative lack of action in solving it. In 1999, for instance, the Institute of Medicine recommended the creation of a “nationwide mandatory reporting system” for medical errors. That hasn’t happened. Very little progress has been made. Source: Wall Street Journal Very little progress has been made.

  16. Program Recommendations • Research on engineering systems design • Information and connectivity • Coordination and standards • Responsibility • Continuous innovation

  17. Our Vision “The clinical operating system will improve interactions between doctors and patients, who will not have to be in the same room or even in the same time frame. Enterprise software will provide a patient’s personal health record with information from the person’s entire clinical history”.(Jeffrey Goldsmith)
