with Samer Faraj

Abstract

The challenge of coordination is especially acute in healthcare organizations because they must ensure that critically ill patients receive the appropriate treatment at the right time, by the right specialists, in the most cost-effective manner possible. Necessary knowledge is siloed, resources are limited, yet the consequence of collaboration failure unacceptable. I will offer lessons learned from investigating collaboration and coordination in a variety of settings including trauma care, ED, NICU, or hospital level responses to crises such as Covid. I will conclude with an evaluation of the possibilities offered by technology, including AI or the 鈥渉ospital of the future鈥� to improve complex collaboration.
