The Telfer School of Management welcomed over 70 health professionals, business leaders, civil servants and students on Wednesday, November 23, 2016, for an event organized by the Telfer Health Transformation Exchange (THTex), featuring Dr. Alain Mouttham from the Institut de Recherche de l’Hôpital Monfort.
Dr. Mouttham’s presentation, entitled Transforming our Hospitals: Clinician-driven Operations Management, highlighted the fact that Canadian hospitals have to become patient-centered and value-based, and that this transformation is made possible by using a clinical operations management (COM) model. The COM model, which is driven by clinicians, goes beyond administration and IT led projects and looks at the processes from the perspectives of increasing efficiency and adding value.
During his presentation, Dr. Mouttham stated: ‘‘I believe that it is possible to have nurses and clinicians driving the transformation of hospitals, and it is starting,’’ which is why the proposed COM model responds to the specific needs of the hospitals in terms of processes, organization and information.
During the talk different ideas were presented for a hospital transformation ecosystem that should bring together hospitals, universities, non-profit start-ups and public agencies, forming incubators for hospital transformation.
