Book: Designing Care: Aligning the Nature and Management of Health Care Author: Richard Bohmer Teaser: Why have costs risen in healthcare? How can we improve the value of care? In Designing Care, Harvard Business School professor and doctor Richard Bohmer explains that health-care professionals are tasked with providing two very different types of care - sequential and iterative.  To reduce costs and manage care effectively, sequential and iterative care situations require different management systems. Bohmer reveals how health-care providers can successfully manage both modes. #systems Each week we will add another book to this page and add it to our Podcast Channel ‘Radio Value’.

Paper of the week 17.12.18: Cryptic connections illuminate pathogen transmission within community networks

Reference: Cryptic connections illuminate pathogen transmission within community networks. Hoyt, Langwig, White, Kaarakka, Redell, Kurta, DePue, Scullon, Parise, Foster, Frick, Kilpatrick This week’s paper of the week is brought to you by Dr Anant Jani, 3V Executive Director. Bottom line (chosen from the paper) We have shown that cryptic connections among groups and species have a key role in transmission dynamics and explain why transmission is far more intense in some species than others. Cryptic connections not only link social groups within species but also create bridges among species, resulting in highly connected communities Implications for value improvement This very interesting paper looks at transmission of pathogens within and between different species of bats. Hoyt et al.’s findings [...]

Paper of the week 28.11.18: The view of experts on initiatives to be undertaken to promote equity

Reference: The view of experts on initiatives to be undertaken to promote equity in the access to orphan drugs and specialised care for rare diseases in Spain: A Delphi consensus. Torrent-Farnell at al 2018 This week’s paper of the week is brought to you by Professor Sir Muir Gray, 3V Executive Director. Bottom line Delivering equity for rare diseases in healthcare is difficult, with no simple solution. What is required is a process that adopts “reasonableness”. Further, despite what this paper says, structural change is not required to improve equity, the creation of networks is required, like those for neurofibromatosis type 2 in England Implications for value improvement This project focused on a common problem, often overlooked – [...]
