SAMI SAWMH Relationship

The nature of the alliance between St Andrews Hospital and Medical Institute is unique.

This is underpinned through the Hospital’s size and mix of specialties and the
outcome-focussed collaborative culture of St Andrews private consultants who are
part of the St Andrews Medical Institute, as illustrated by:

The alliance has been long-term and collaborative ie:

  • The foundation of alliance is the Institute’s provision of clinical and
    patient outcome audit data for use by both the Hospital and private
    clinicians

  • Substantial health outcome data already exists in some specialities
    (15 years)

  • A focus on developing transferable and scalable methodologies that
    underpin world-class patient outcome

The bed numbers and case-mix of St Andrews Hospital ie:

  • Right-sized “incubator” for use as a technology and methodology
    “learning laboratory”

  • High volume of complex surgical and acute medical specialities

The outcome-focussed culture of private specialists drawn to St Andrews ie:

  • Clinicians that are uniquely collaborative and collegially engaged on
    patient outcomes and individual / team performance

  • Audit processes that have been developed with specialists’ support
    (not by administrative decree) to affirm best practice and to support
    analysis of factors effecting the success of patient’s treatment
