UVU Meeting Notes

• What type of proposals am I looking for?
o Current problems – what are problems with health and healthcare?
 Cost or efficiency – are we getting what we pay for?
 Identifying need for healthcare
 Preventative medicine – see link on slide for health affairs
 Patient satisfaction/ citizen satisfaction
 Paperwork/ administrative burden
o Contributing factors
 Tradition
 What role people should play
 Accountability of healthcare providers, students, citizens, etc..
 Biomedical reductionism – increasing sense of studying and applying scientific method, which led to a narrow view of healthcare
 Aligning incentives with what we really want – paying to number of patients seen rather than making patients better
o What would a learning health network look like in 20 years?
 Integrated in education
 Improving the way we educate the market
 Responding to data and feedback
• Doctors receive little to no feedback upon graduation
 Be able to prove the benefits
 Communication across disciplines and fields
o What can you do as an undergraduate to contribute?
 Networking with influential or powerful people
 New perspective and we are not invested in one particular way of thinking
 Experience in places
