Heal Health Care Through Team Care-Project 10tothe100

Project 10tothe100 idea submittal: Heal Health Care Through Team Care.

Let's heal health care. The whole system is so fractured. Doctors, teachers, researchers, statisticians, policy leaders and all the rest work in silos. Why? Experts in one field seldom work with experts in another. We can change that. We can create a new culture in care that serves everyone better, everywhere. Join us to create a "connected care community".

More on our idea:
Interdisciplinary research unraveled the code for DNA. Imagine a future where—thanks to a robust health IT system and people who understand and use the knowledge it holds, working as teams—the learning from such research is translated real-time into instruction, clinical services, and other practices and policies.

Today, health care is fractured.
Were treated by isolated professionals who were taught and practice in silos. Experts on human health dont work with experts on plant, animal or ecological health. Seldom do any cross paths with experts in policy. And the information that could help them all is cumbersome to access, lying hidden in patient data and public health records.

The world needs a fresh approach to understanding and embracing human health as a system. People can design it, technology can enable it.

We need to demonstrate in an entire community that we can dramatically improve the culture in health care research, curriculum, delivery, policy and the medical informatics that ties it all together, bridging all the old gaps.

We can create a connected care community that brings together new teaching methods, interdisciplinary research, a robust electronic medical records system, public health, plant and animal health, clinical partners, and thoughtful, culturally appropriate outreach to vulnerable and underserved populations. This connected care community will create, test, refine, and disseminate a new health care model for the world.

Lessons learned within this first test-bed community will be shared with the world.

All of this results in the most important and measurable outcomes of all: a more efficient and less costly health care system with significantly improved outcomes and healthier people.
