Disruption through Innovation
Policy makers and health providers wrestle with dramatic changes occurring in the U.S. health system. Implementation of the Affordable Care Act added millions of new participants to an over-burdened system of care. To remain competitive, organizations must achieve the “quadruple aim” measures driving healthcare today: the simultaneous pursuit of better care and satisfaction for individuals, improved health outcomes for populations, and lower per capita costs. Successful healthcare leaders will be required to embrace innovation, manage and sustain change, and effectively collaborate with colleagues and consumers.
Students in the UCSF Healthcare Administration and Interprofessional Leadership master’s program will be able to identify a barrier to improving care within their organization and disrupt its continuation by creating an innovative program for change. As a result, students will be shaping healthcare systems that improve access, affordability, quality, and safety.
