A values-driven academic affiliation between a public medical school and a private healthcare provider: exploring the perceptions of key opinion leaders

This study showed that there is a latent potential in forming public private partnerships that can enable the formation and development of Academic Health Systems. It also showed how the guidelines of action research can be set as the basis of the process of partnership formation, and how following those guidelines in such an endeavor maximizes value for all. In addition, it clearly brought forth the importance of having a robust governance structure with committed and engaged leadership, and clear communication channels, and of equipping the physicians with the skills needed to be effective educators. Lastly, this study introduced the "Public Private Affiliation Journey" conceptual framework, which can be deployed in "federated" Academic Health Systems worldwide to increase the chances of success of public private partnerships and to maximize the value attained through them.

Abstract

This study showed that there is a latent potential in forming public private partnerships that can enable the formation and development of Academic Health Systems. It also showed how the guidelines of action research can be set as the basis of the process of partnership formation, and how following those guidelines in such an endeavor maximizes value for all. In addition, it clearly brought forth the importance of having a robust governance structure with committed and engaged leadership, and clear communication channels, and of equipping the physicians with the skills needed to be effective educators. Lastly, this study introduced the "Public Private Affiliation Journey" conceptual framework, which can be deployed in "federated" Academic Health Systems worldwide to increase the chances of success of public private partnerships and to maximize the value attained through them.
