Filerman To Serve On McKinsey Panel

Gary L. Filerman, Ph.D., chair of the Department of Health Systems Administration at NHS, has been invited by McKinsey & Company to join the organization's planning process for the future of health services in London.

"McKinsey will publish a landmark report laying out the strategic blueprint for services across the capital for the next decade," said Filerman. "A critical component of making it a reality will be ensuring that the workforce is in place to underpin the new system."

Filerman joins an international expert advisory panel that will address three areas: 1) Workforce strategy: How many doctors, nurses, and non-clinical staff will be needed? 2) Education and training strategy: How will these specialties be trained and how do postgraduate training curricula need to be adapted? 3) Education commissioning strategy: How should financial resources be spent to achieve better training results and value for money?

Filerman says the panel will likely complete its work by the end of this year.
