Spain’s IESE Business School, through a joint project with Accenture, has launched a new center dedicated to helping transform the healthcare industry through better management, the school announced this week. IESE hopes its new Center for Research on Healthcare Innovation Management (CRHIM) will generate debate within the sector and facilitate executive education and applied research to develop more innovative approaches to healthcare management.
Harvard Business School (HBS) Professor Richard Bohmer delivered a presentation on high-value healthcare practices as part of the CRHIM inaugural event. “Increasingly, it’s the organizational demands that determine health outcomes,” he said. He pointed to one study that has shown that nurses report to spend as little as 30 to 40 percent of their time on core nursing duties and the rest attending to other duties, which better, more innovative management could change.
In opening remarks that day, IESE Professor Josep Valor noted that the new center’s launch is the culmination of the school’s ongoing initiatives in the healthcare sector over many years. The CRHIM will be led by IESE Professors Jaume Ribera and Magda Rosenmöller, with support from other professors.
