The University of Glasgow Adam Smith Business School is delighted to be hosting the seminar "Learning Health Systems- Mobilising large scale change through co-production, partnership and integration" on Monday 6 June with Professor Helena Teede. This seminar is free to attend.
Coproduction, collaboration and respectful partnership, are key to identifying, prioritising and solving problems to deliver value-based healthcare. Here it is critical that cross disciplinary academics, clinicians, and service end users work together to gain insight into problems and jointly generate and implement solutions.
At the same time, around 10% of healthcare is potentially harmful and 30% is low value, with evidence and innovation being slow to implement. Whilst innovation to drive quality, sustainable, high value care is vital, we know that effective, large scale change is very challenging in healthcare. Such a challenge occurs against the backdrop of healthcare systems internationally facing a burgeoning ageing population, rising complexity, escalating costs, major insults from the pandemic and inevitable austerity measures post pandemic.
This talk will discuss leveraging the burning platforms mandating health system change, and explore large scale interdisciplinary initiatives underway. It will provide examples of Academic Collaborative Centre Models, Learning Health System approaches and interdisciplinary efforts including those driving equity, diversity and culture change and how to tackle challenges including the complexity and diversity of healthcare systems, the heavily siloed nature of healthcare, and research, professional hierarchies, traditional top down leadership and lack of co-production and interdisciplinary collaboration.
