Abstract:
Academic health centers (ACHs) represent the pinnacle of health care by providing innovative clinical care, cutting-edge research, and premier education. However, recent changes in health care put their tripartite mission at risk. The coming years will bring immense change to AHCs as they adjust to new market conditions impacting the 3 distinct elements of their mission. Fundamental adaptations are required for AHCs to survive, let alone thrive and continue to represent the best of medical research, education, and health. This paper evaluates the missions and strengths of AHCs, describes the challenges to these missions, and proposes adaptations for future success.
