MIT Hacking Medicine is a student, academic, and community-led organization that uses systems-oriented "healthcare hacking" to address challenges around innovation in healthcare. The group has organized more than 80 events around the world that attract participants with diverse backgrounds. These participants are trained to address clinical needs from the perspective of multiple stakeholders and emphasize utility and implementation viability of proposed solutions. We describe the MIT Hacking Medicine model as a potential method to integrate collaboration and training in rapid innovation techniques into academic medical centers. Built upon a systems approach to healthcare innovation, the time-compressed but expertly guided nature of the events could enable more widely accessible preliminary training in systems-level innovation methodology, as well as creating a structured opportunity for interdisciplinary congregation and collaboration.
麻省理工学院医疗黑客组织是一个由学生、学者和社区主导的组织,它采用以系统为导向的“医疗保健黑客”方法来解决医疗创新方面的挑战。该组织在全球范围内组织了 80 多次活动,吸引了来自不同背景的参与者。这些参与者接受过培训,能够从多个利益相关者的角度解决临床需求,并强调所提出解决方案的实用性和实施可行性。我们将麻省理工学院医疗黑客组织的模式描述为将协作和快速创新技术培训融入学术医疗中心的一种潜在方法。该组织基于医疗创新的系统方法,其活动时间紧凑但指导专业,这可能使更广泛的人群有机会接受系统层面创新方法的初步培训,同时为跨学科聚集和合作创造一个结构化的机会。
