Medical
Center studies Michigan's joint venture
A joint School of Medicine-Stanford Hospital and Clinics team visited the leadership of the School of Medicine and Hospital at the University of Michigan in December to compare approaches to crafting joint ventures or business relationships among the school, faculty and hospital.
In his Dec. 13 e-newsletter, Dean Philip A. Pizzo, noted that UM successfully launched an innovative program that supports its Cancer Center.
"Based on information I had gathered during an earlier visit to U Michigan, we felt we could learn from their experience and perhaps emulate aspects of it at Stanford," Pizzo said. He noted that the methodology for UM's program was published in an article entitled "New Organizational and Fund Flow Models for an Academic Cancer Center" by UM's David Spahlinger in Academic Medicine (2004;79:623-627). Spahlinger, associate dean for clinical affairs at UM, coordinated the Stanford team's visit.
Pizzo said the Stanford Medical School-SHC Funds Flow Team is comprised of pulmonary/critical care specialist Norman Rizk, senior associate dean for clinical affairs; gynecologist Jerry Shefren, SHC vice president, clinics/ambulatory services; Michael A. Hindery, SOM senior associate dean for finance and administration; Marcia Cohen, assistant dean for fiscal affairs; David Keane, SHC vice president for financial operations; and Robert Jackler, professor and chair of Otolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery. The group has been evaluating a number of methodologies to address funds flow "and will now be exploring how the Michigan experience might apply," Pizzo said:
