Exploring Med-Ed Ecosystem Synergies & Challenges
#k12 #ecosys #edreform #hcsm #hcr #healthcare
ECOSYS is working to unpack social ecosystem challenges and barriers. What's happening that works against our target outcomes? Commonalities might shed some light, so our current focus for March-April 2012 is comparing Healthcare & K12 Education.
Note: we began K12 Objectives & Definitions in our R1 (Social Contract) Purpose of Education segment (pardon the mess, this is a work in progress !!)
CHAT OUTLINE for 3/25-4/15 9p EDT.
- Q1 What are similarities between Healthcare and K12 Education? Do patients & students share hurdles?
- Money goes into salaries, not service
- Both are silo'd bureaucracies; practitioners in both must embrace change more quickly
- K12 can benefit from "instructional rounds" used in HC
- Neither HC or K12 are sufficiently creative
- ACSD12 and UVa conversations re: HC & K12 (links to follow)
- HC medicates when broken; K12 obsessed with remediation
- Q2 What about issues of Choice across HCR & K12?
- Generally choice is highly limited, especially for Rural K12
- In K12, 'private' choice carries high price tag and for most equates to "no choice"
- K12 more supervised than HC, though HC can carry higher (near-term) stakes
- Q3 How does the Political Dynamic play out in HCR & K12?
- HC & K12 perceived as human needs, but allocated based on wealth
- HC & ED both work to maintain order
- Generally, politicians "talk the good talk" w/ no direct benefit/effect/action .. say what they need to say to get elected
- Q4 What can we learn re: Performance Measurement gaps across HCR & K12?
- HC docs viewed as advanced professionals, teachers less so
- Years of education factors into levels of trust, pay .. HC > EDU
- ED increasingly obsessed w/ measurement, HC not
- ED reliance on test scores is faulty
- Q5 How does money motivate in HCR & ED? Are incentive controls alike, or diff?
- CN HC free, basic, but wealthy get what they need; is this direction for US EDU? What can be done to avoid this?
- Obamacare a 1st step toward HC as a right (much work to do)
- Money not flowing to right places? (begs Q:) Where is it flowing?
NEW Breakouts at 4/22 & 4/29
- Q5a Economic Impact due to Fin Crisis & Cuts at State/County level
- Q5b Market Forces (Textbook Co's)
- Q5c Change from MFG to SVC Model; means to move away from Factory Model of ED? tee up for 4/30 !?
- Q5d FINANCIAL COMPARISON - launched 4/29 p.m. - stand by for categories & prelim data
