As a Glocal initiative maxiMUMcare is both Global and Local. However, there is yet no ‘ sustainable forum’ to engage with global thought-leaders . Big City Healthcare also requires the platform to benchmark not only with other cities in India, but also with the healthcare  systems of global cities.

 

 

Care Studio:

A Collaborative Space for the Future of Healthcare: Systems,Technology and Humanities.

Healthcare organisations are Compassion Based Organisations [CBOs]. Data, Systems and Technologies are useful but require ‘ideas’ and ‘passion’ to integrate them fruitfully into practice….. Healthcare traditionally has individuals and organisations that excel in isolation. There is greater creative potential in bringing together individuals and organisations. Mumbai healthcare lacks such a innovative forum : Where people can ‘exchange’ their standards, practices, processes and innovations. Creativity , Collaboration, Synergy and Iteration are not yet in current vocabulary of Indian Healthcare. This initiative would be the first to bring them into vogue. This forum could later be opened to the whole nation and to first to bring them into vogue.

What is Care Studio ?

A studio -based learning space where healthcare professionals can learn from each other, as well as learn together to see the big picture.

A creative space where imaginative solutions are sought for ‘hard’ healthcare problems, for testing what works in what context.

A design space which motivates healthcare professionals in both private and public healthcare can collectively create a better future.

A community space where non- healthcare professionals and the public can join healthcare professionals to enrich their communities’ health.

A open space where ideas are not wasted, where everyone matters. Where best practices are shared.

A compassionate space where healthcare professionals can find ‘deep support’ for their passion to serve people better.

A celebratory space where one success story is a inspiration for ‘spread of ideas’ and ‘Best Practices’.
