The IBO model was implemented in October 2019, when Yale School of Medicine (YSM) leadership asked the departmental business managers in Psychiatry and the YCSC to collaborate and find opportunities for business operations staff in both departments to work more closely together. The initial collaboration led to further integration of operations in Human Resources, Faculty Affairs and Staffing Administration, Research Finance and Administration, and Clinical Finance and Administration. Each of these areas are now run inter-departmentally, and as of June 2023, the Department of Pediatrics Business Office was added to this IBO structure. The IBO model has now been adopted across nearly all YSM departments.
