To be successful and effective, today's health care practitioners
must be both excellent clinicians and capable managers of
systems and processes for meeting the needs of patients and
populations. The Institute was established to help physicians
and other health care professionals develop the knowledge
and skills necessary to respond to the realities of practice
today. These include the need to:
- systematically assess and improve quality;
- provide efficient and cost-effective care;
- manage care for individuals and patient panels through
health assessment, patient outreach, health promotion, and
related strategies; and
- coordinate and deliver care through organized systems
and multidisciplinary teams.
Tufts Health Care Institute Curriculum©
acknowledges the tensions and dynamics inherent in practice
today, and the competencies required of health care professionals.
Based on extensive research and field experience, we have
organized the curriculum under five content categories
that contain a total of ten domains.
Click the content categories in the orange navigation bar
(above left) for a description of topics and goals within
the domains. You may download a complete description of the
framework and its domains from our download
page.
The topics addressed in this curriculum are very similar
to the content that comprises the competencies of Systems-based
Practice and Practice-based Learning and Improvement, as adopted
by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education
(ACGME) and the American Board of Medical Specialties. The
relationship between the THCI framework and the ACGME competencies
is delineated in the section Resources
and Competencies.
