Collaborative Healthcare: advancing sustainable knowledge systems for service delivery
My daughter and I visited Dr. Peter Margolis, M.D., Ph.D., Co-Director of the The Center for Health Care Quality at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center last July. Our visit was prompted at the recommendation of Peter Gloor, Research Scientist, MIT, to learn more about the advancing practice of collaborative medicine in health care service delivery for children.
(Peter Gloor's research focuses on COINs - collaborative innovation networks.The study of COINs, or swarm creativity, offers us a deeper understanding of how to share information in large systems to advance knowledge aquisition by all participants and address distribution of that knowledge at scale. Be sure to visit and participate in the COINs global community here.)
With Alice's photos, we posted the slide show above. As you're watching, listen to Dr. Margolis's interview describing the value networks, collaboration and community bring to advance medical innovation and health care service, posted to I-Open and here to this blog.
We'd like to thank Dr. Margolis for generously participating in the New York, New England, New Jersey, Cincinnati July 2009 interview trip, co-sponsored by The Institute for Open Economic Networks (I-Open). We'll be posting additional interviews from our trip to this blog and to I-Open in the upcoming weeks.
The photo set for the July trip is posted to Flickr. We invite you to visit more photos by Alice Merkel here.
