Going with the flow: A systems approach to how an academic health science centre creates value through collaboration

Ng, Irene; Parry, Glenn; Davies, Stephen; Lim, Wai Mun

Abstract

This briefing looks at the case of Cambridge University Health Partners, the management organisation of the Cambridge Academic Health Science Centre (AHSC). An AHSC is a partnership between one or more universities and healthcare providers focusing on the tripartite mission of research, clinical care and teaching. AHSCs work on the principle that the collaboration between university and healthcare providers creates greater value than their operating alone. Our briefing reports on the nature and characteristic of one such partnership, and how such outcomes are achieved
collaboratively.
