Webinar title: Coproducing Healthcare Service and its improvement: understanding the “as is” system and the experience of its navigation.

Date: Thursday 15 October 2020

Time: 15:00 (UTC+1) (Please click here to see your local time)

About the session
This is the third session offering an overview of the knowledge that underpins the coproduction of healthcare service. This session will focus on developing an understanding of the second stream of knowledge: the “as is” system journey that must be navigated by patients and professionals. The session will include an illustrative interview that helps us understand the importance of knowing what it feels like to be on the journey. Helpful tools for graphically depicting the system will be suggested.

Intended audience
The webinar is intended for those seeking a brief overview of the underpinning streams of knowledge that regularly support the coproduction of healthcare service and its improvement. Healthcare professionals, improvers, and system designers will be interested.

Learning objectives
a) To introduce four interrelated streams of knowledge that underpin the coproduction of healthcare service;
b) To explore the “as is” system that must be navigated in the work of coproducing healthcare service;
c) To contextualize the coproduction of better health in the larger framework of improving the quality of healthcare today.

About the presenters
Paul Batalden currently serves as Emeritus Professor (Active), The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice, Geisel School of Medicine; Senior Fellow, IHI; Guest Professor, Quality Improvement and Leadership, Jönköping Academy for the Improvement of Health and Welfare, Jönköping University; and Co-leader, International Coproduction of Health Network (ICoHN). He currently teaches in the graduate studies program of Jönköping Academy and co-facilitates several international communities of practice exploring the coproduction of healthcare service, value creation and professional development. Previously, he created/helped develop the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), U.S. Veteran Administration National Quality Scholars program (VAQS), General Competencies of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), Dartmouth Leadership Preventive Medicine Residency, and Annual Health Professional Educator’s Summer Symposium.

Tina C. Foster, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Preventive Medicine at Dartmouth Institute, seeks to understand how we can best coproduce both care and education in different contexts around the world.

Mia is an educated music teacher and worked at several schools for children with special needs when before having her second son, Jesper. Jesper has Downs Syndrome and is living with just half a heart, but is doing ok. Mia is interested and engaged in coproduction because “Jesper is a rare bird, in a medical way, so it is very important for me to have a good dialogue with health care”. When Jesper was born, Mia felt she had to lecture about her experiences of being a Mum to a child with several diagnoses. Although having worked for 7 years as a teacher, Mia realized she had no idea what parents to children with special needs had to cope with in their daily life: no one had told her. Mia began talking about all the things she had to learn. Being a mother to Jesper is a wonderful task, Mia says, but also challenging. “I call myself “Brave Mia” (In swedish, Modiga Mia), because I have had many reasons to feel frightened and find courage.”

Nourhan Kawtharani

Nourhan, a quality and safety coordinator with eight years of experience in ambulatory healthcare in Lebanon, aims to deepen her understanding of the systemic and holistic approach to healthcare through this fellowship.

She aims to identify gaps and develop tailored interventions that address specific contexts rather than applying general solutions. Engaging with diverse professionals and perspectives during this educational journey will expand the application of these concepts across different cultural settings.

Nourhan emphasizes the importance of promoting a culture of continuous learning and improvement within healthcare institutions, considering it a vital leadership responsibility to integrate quality and safety initiatives into the organizational culture.

Nourhan's commitment to patient safety and quality management includes sourcing practical resources and transforming insights into actionable knowledge to drive continued progress in healthcare practices and outcomes.

Elom Otchi

Elom is passionate about improving quality of care and patient safety outcomes.

In view of this, he has had the opportunity to work in various capacities with various organisations including AfIHQSA, WHO, UNICEF and others undertaking research, supporting the development of national quality policies and strategies, facilitating the establishment of quality governance systems across all the levels of the health sector and building capacity of national and sub-national quality leads/teams to institutionalize the practice of quality and patient safety across the continent.

He has also worked extensively across all levels of care in the health sector of Ghana, including leading the Quality & Patient Safety program in its largest teaching hospital.

I would like to use this Fellowship as a learning platform and an opportunity to acquire the requisite knowledge, skills and competencies to complement ongoing efforts by like-minded individuals and organizations to continuously advance improve the quality and patient safety in Ghana and the continent.

Stephen Taiye Balogun

Stephen is a Senior Programme Officer at the Institute of Human Virology in Nigeria as well as Country Representative for Health Information for All (HIFA).

Stephen plans to use this opportunity to maximise his impact by championing the cause of patient safety and quality in Nigeria and across Africa.

Stephen says "Quality and safety is a major wheel through which universal healthcare coverage can be achieved. The goal is to be a bridge in the gap between the International Quality Improvement and Patient Safety community and my country to ensure rapid spread, adoption, implementation and practice."

We are looking forward to working with both Stephen and our 2020 winner Rhoda Kalondu over the next year.

Dr Rhoda Kalondu

Rhoda is the Head of the Patient Safety Unit at Kenyatta Hospital in Nairobi and wants to use this Fellowship to learn how to establish a culture of safety and develop systems for assessment and analysis at her institution, and more widely. As well as this, Rhoda intends to develop and execute an intervention to improve patient safety in Kenyatta National Hospital.

It is one thing to institute measures and processes for improvement, but quite another to change the culture of an environment. Rhoda's ambition to lead others in this change inspired the panel.
