Rush University System for Health and Dubai Health have formed a strategic collaboration focused on care, patient safety, clinical education, digital health, research and workforce development.
Dubai Health and Chicago-based Rush University System for Health have entered into a strategic collaboration aimed at advancing care, patient safety and clinical education across both academic health systems. The agreement was announced July 10.
The collaboration will span clinical programs and care models, quality and patient safety, performance management, digital health, research and innovation. It also includes education, training and workforce development for medical, nursing, allied health and leadership roles.
In addition, the health systems plan to work together on training programs and pipeline development across disciplines. Details on specific initiatives were not reported in the source.
Omar Lateef, MD, president and CEO of Rush University System for Health, said in a news release that the collaboration creates opportunities to view safety, quality and the patient experience through a global lens. He said the effort could foster a culture defined by best practices rather than geography.
Lateef added that while each system has developed a worldwide reputation for excellence, the organizations have much to learn from one another, with patients standing to benefit most from the partnership.
