Agile Strategy in Health Care: Sharon Murphy Enright
Healthcare is a complex area that is ripe for improved collaboration. By deepening the skills of collaboration within and among health care professionals, the productivity of our healthcare investments can be dramatically improved. The Lab is already working to explore these opportunities.
- We are providing training to Purdue pharmacy students. Tn the years ahead the community pharmacist will likely become a more pivotal player in a community’s health care system. By training produce students in the deep skills of collaboration, we are preparing the next generation of pharmacists for these opportunities.
- In Australia, we are working with the Primary Health Network system in Queensland. Australia’s Primary Health Networks represent an investment by the federal government in organizing health care supports within communities to keep people out of the hospital.
- With Purdue Health Advisors and the Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering we have begun to explore how agile strategy disciplines can help communities, counties and regions address Indiana’s opioid crisis.
From these early explorations, we see health care as a major opportunity for the Lab.
