Randy Meisner<\/a> singing at a #WalkingGallery meet up). Watch it and see what you think. You’ll hear “Patients should be in governance and be in control” which is an IHI pivot that the Society can help bring about.<\/p>\nWe all know that it has to be more than a conversation. Patients, families, advocates must be active participants in Era 3. Berwick’s vision of Era 3 will only be achieved if healthcare and medicine Let Patients Help!<\/strong><\/p>\nA summary of Era 3 goals:<\/p>\n
1. Reduce Mandatory Measurement<\/strong> \nReduce by 50% in 3 years ( and by 75% in 6 years) the volume and cost of measurements being done and enforced. Measure only what matters, and mainly for learning.<\/p>\n2. Stop Complex Individual Incentives<\/strong> \nDeclare a moratorium on complex incentive programs for individual clinicians, which are confusing, unstable, and invite gaming. CMS should confine value-based payment models for clinicians to large groups.<\/p>\n3. Shift the Business Strategy From Revenue to Quality<\/strong> \nMaster the theory and methods of improvement as a core competence for health care leaders. Unlink incomes from metrics, such as \u201crelative value units\u201d for specialists\u2019 incomes, which are not associated with quality and drive volume constantly upward.<\/p>\n4. Give Up Professional Prerogative When It Hurts the Whole<\/strong> \nThe most important question a modern professional can ask is not \u201cWhat do I do?\u201d but \u201cWhat am I part of?\u201d Young professionals should be redirected from prerogative to citizenship. Physician guilds should reconsider their self-protective rhetoric and policies.<\/p>\n5. Use Improvement Science<\/strong> \nAcademicians should make mastery of improvement sciences part of the core curriculum for the preparation of clinicians and managers.<\/p>\n6. Ensure Complete Transparency<\/strong> \nAnything professionals know about their work, the people and communities they serve can know, too, without delay, cost, or smokescreens. Professional societies and clinicians should abandon traditional opposition to absolute transparency.<\/p>\n7. Protect Civility<\/strong> \nMedicine should not, as happens too often in Washington, DC, substitute accusation for conversation. Proponents of era 3 should heed the advice of Waller, who noted, \u201cEverything possible begins in civility\u201d<\/p>\n8. Hear the Voices of the People Served<\/strong> \nClinicians, and those who train them, should learn how to ask less, \u201cWhat is the matter with you?\u201d and more, \u201cWhat matters to you?\u201d \u201cCoproduction,\u201d \u201cco-design,\u201d and \u201cperson-centered care\u201d are among the new watchwords, and professionals, and those who train them, should master those ideas and embrace the transfer of control over people\u2019s lives to the people. That includes paying special attention to the needs of the poor, the disadvantaged, and the marginalized, and firmly defending health care as a universal human right.<\/p>\n9. Reject Greed<\/strong> \nProfessional organizations and, importantly, academic medical centers should articulate, model, and fiercely protect moral values intolerant of individual or institutional greed in health care.<\/p>\nSue Woods MD, MPH (LinkedIn<\/a>) is a former Board member of our Society.
