You bet!  Innovation in healthcare to reduce cost while improving quality has led to development of technologies for patient engagement, electronic health records, mobile health, and other innovative technologies being part of the medical home and the new fee-for-value payment model.  For the intended outcomes, we need innovation leaders who can think and act like entrepreneurs.  The faculty of the HST.921 course, Enabling Technology Innovation in Healthcare and the Life Sciences, www.hst921.org will present and discuss all aspects of the course -- including the mix of lectures by world leaders in medical informatics, skills-based tutorial sessions and faculty-mentored work on industry-sponsored projects.

We will conduct an experiential workshop in which student teams will collaborate in an impromptu brainstorm addressing an opportunity to improve healthcare.

A series of three meetings will be held in which a clinical case from the New England Journal of Medicine series of “Clinicopathological Conferences from the Massachusetts General Hospital” will be discussed. At each meeting a case presentation will be read and then the way in which a clinician evaluates the symptoms, signs on physical examination and imaging/laboratory information will be presented.  This should provide a means by which to get a glimpse of the clinical reasoning of physicians.  Interested potential students may view a sample NEJM CPC by searching most any recent issue of the New England Journal of Medicine and looking at a published CPC.  The format of the three cases discussed will follow these formats although the selected cases will be from past issues of the Journal. Students may attend one, two or all three of the classes.
