Last week, I had the benefit of attending the first annual National Symposium on Value Innovation at Yale, hosted by Yale New Haven Health System (YNHHS) leadership.
The event was a collaboration with YNHHS, the Yale School of Management, the Center for Outcomes Research & Evaluation (CORE), the Yale Center for Biomedical and Interventional Technology (CBIT) and health IT vendors Strata Decision Technology and PeraHealth.
The goal of the event, according to YVHHS leadership, was to share the health system’s lessons learned and best practices as part of its ongoing journey toward improving quality and lowering cost across the system.
What struck me was that this was a health system that includes Yale-New Haven Hospital, the primary teaching hospital for the Yale School of Medicine, and regularly ranked among the best hospitals in the country, openly sharing its struggles and challenges as it transitions from volume to value with an audience that included healthcare leaders from hospitals and health systems throughout the country.
I’ve been covering the health IT space for less than a year, yet it’s my understanding that up until very recently, healthcare was very insular. Yet, it seems that we’re starting to see the wheels turning on more open discussions and sharing of best practices. For the full article click here
