Overview:
This seminar will present the findings of the latest phase of the joint McKinsey/LSE research into comparative management practices in healthcare. Covering over 1100 hospitals in seven countries (UK, US, Canada, Italy, Sweden, France, Germany), this work will show:
- Hospital-specific management practices are strongly related to health outcomes, such as mortality rates and quality of care
- There is a strong relationship between national and regional policies and the effectiveness of management practices. Specifically, labour market rigidity, perceived levels of competition, hospital size and ownership type are all important considerations
- However, the widest variance is within countries as opposed to between countries. At the hospital level there is a particularly strong relationship between management scores and the prevalence of managers with clinical degrees or training
- This event will review the implications of these findings for policymakers, Academic Health Science Centres, hospitals, investors and patients
Participants are expected to adhere to the CEP Events Code of Conduct.
