Description
Summary:In the United States, it is estimated that 75,000 deaths every year could be averted if the healthcare system implemented high quality care more effectively and efficiently. Patient harm in the hospital occurs as a consequence of inadequate procedures, medications and other therapies, nosocomial infections, diagnostic evaluations and patient falls. Implementation science, a new emerging field in healthcare, is the development and study of methods and tools aimed at enhancing the implementation of new discoveries and evidence into daily healthcare delivery. The Indiana University Center for Healthcare Innovation and Implementation Science (IU-CHIIS) was launched in September 2013 with the mission to use implementation science and innovation to produce great-quality, patient-centered and cost-efficient healthcare delivery solutions for the United States of America. Within the first 24 months of its initiation, the IU-CHIIS successfully scaled up an evidence-based collaborative care model for people with dementia and/or depression, successfully expanded the Accountable Care Unit model positively impacting the efficiency and quality of care, created the first Certificate in Innovation and Implementation Science in the US and secured funding from National Institutes of Health to investigate innovations in dementia care. This article summarizes the establishment of the IU-CHIIS, its impact and outcomes and the lessons learned during the journey. Schätzungen zufolge könnten in den Vereinigten Staaten 75.000 Todesfälle vermieden werden, wenn hochwertige Versorgungsmaßnahmen effektiver und effizienter ins Gesundheitssystem implementiert würden. Patienten erleiden im Krankenhaus Schaden infolge von inadäquater Behandlung, Medikation und anderen Therapien, durch nosokomiale Infektionen, diagnostische Verfahren und Stürze. Implementierungsforschung, ein neuer und wachsender Bereich der Gesundheitsversorgung, entwickelt und untersucht Methoden und Werkzeuge mit dem Ziel, neue Verfahren und Evidenz besser in die tägliche Versorgungsroutine zu implementieren. Das Indiana University Center for Healthcare Innovation and Implementation Science (IU-CHIIS) wurde im September 2013 mit dem Auftrag gegründet, Implementierungsforschung und Innovationen zu nutzen, um qualitativ hochwertige, patientenzentrierte und kosteneffiziente Lösungen für die Gesundheitsversorgung in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika zu entwickeln. In den ersten 24 Monaten seit seiner Gründung hat das IU-CH
