Healing health care through team care
One of our big ideas
In 2008 with Project 10 to the 100th, the Google Foundation called for ideas to change the world by helping as many people as possible.
WSU Health Sciences submitted an idea. While it didn't get chosen, we think it's a great idea, and Team Care is still our philosophy.
Our concept is to “Heal Health Care through Team Care” by harnessing the power of health information technology.
We'll teach a new generation of health professions to work as a team and use the new knowledge we find through research in electronic medical records and public health records.
We'll build connections for a healthier world: not only among the health professions, but also among human and animal health, urban and rural, individual and public health records.
We propose Spokane as a “connected community care laboratory” —the test-bed and model for an idea to spread throughout the world.
Why we're the best place in the world for this idea
- Our growing health sciences campus in Spokane and its “Team Care” culture,
- The innovative health IT resources Spokane has in Inland Northwest Health Services,
- WSU’s traditional strengths in animal and agricultural health, and
- Spokane's collaborative community spirit.
