Pattullo Lecture 2006. Crossing the educational chasm: preparing healthcare leaders for interprofessional practice
1Cambridge Management Group, Cambridge, MA, USA. kcohn@cmg625.com
Abstract:
Despite marked differences in training and professional interests, physicians and hospital administrators face similar problems: failure of reimbursement to keep pace with rising costs, new therapeutic modalities, critical workforce shortages, increasing government and managed care regulation, heightened consumerism, & an aging patient population. In the face of these mounting challenges, both physicians and hospital administrators could benefit significantly from a climate of collaboration and interdependence to optimize interprofessional practice. Teaching people to work with other healthcare professionals who play key roles in healthcare delivery is an important educational mission for the Association of University Programs in Health Administration (AUPHA) and for society in general.
