HMHI aims to open dialogues around healthcare leaders’ roles, functions, and performance. Projects are interdisciplinary and comprise frontline staff, supervisors, professionals, students and scholars, industry leaders, and labor. The foundation for our projects is cross-sector and includes the “voices” of those in sectors outside of healthcare and “voices” from within the industry, physicians, nursing, applied, and support healthcare staff. The work of HMHI contributes toward creating a new paradigm for the education of healthcare leaders.
HMHI actively participates in applied research, participating in discussions and conferences and offering webinars and workshops. Our projects, past and present, include the future of work, the experience of healthcare, and technology and data. By gaining knowledge and insights from a cross-sector and cross-discipline approach, we hope to break down the silos in educating healthcare leaders. This approach will encourage the development of partnerships, provide a broader understanding, and afford leaders more career options in healthcare and outside of it. Debate and objective inquiry are encouraged and aim to eliminate misunderstandings, discover similarities, and create new pathways in training and education.
