Abstract
Funded in part by taxpayer dollars, Dell Medical School has a mandate to improve community health. It's also identifying novel ways to reward value.
Highlights
When Austin at last gained its own medical school in 2014, some residents were concerned that the new Dell Medical School would become another “ivory tower,” disconnected from the marginalized communities it claimed to serve
There is certainly the risk that Dell Medical School could go the way of other health care “anchor” institutions that are located in underserved neighborhoods but don’t necessarily benefit the residents of those areas.[1]
Many of the forty-plus community groups that had campaigned for the tax increase represented Latino and black communities in Austin, Shine says, and the medical school in turn had to justify that the money was well spent on their health needs
Summary
Team care: UT Health Austin’s Musculoskeletal Institute upper extremity medical director David Ring, an orthopedic surgeon, consults closely with comprehensive care team members Raquel Gonzales and Sabrina Holguin to better understand what outcomes are most meaningful for each patient. Funded in part by taxpayer dollars, Dell Medical School has a mandate to improve community health. It’s also identifying novel ways to reward value.
