Watch the Recording: Coproducing Healthcare Service and its improvement – understanding the “lived reality of those we sometimes know as professionals” and the experience of its use

We were delighted to once again host Paul Batalden, Tina Foster and also guest speaker John Ballatt for the fifth live webinar in the Coproduction series.

Webinar title: Coproducing Healthcare Service and its improvement: understanding the “lived reality of those we sometimes know as professionals” and the experience of its use 


Before watching this recording, the presenters request that you download and read An Introduction to Intelligent Kindness which can be downloaded HERE.

About the session
This is the fifth session offering an overview of the knowledge that underpins the coproduction of healthcare service. This session will focus on developing an understanding of the fourth stream of knowledge: “lived reality of the person sometimes known as professional” that must be developed and used to coproduce healthcare services. The session will include a conversation with John Ballatt, Tina Foster and Paul Batalden as together they explore this frame and its use in the improvement of the coproduction of healthcare service in times like these.

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 “kin-shipness and its implications” that must be understood and used 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.

John Ballatt began work in therapeutic communities, before moving on to train and lead social workers, and to manage and commission services in the UK NHS.  He spent six years as an Executive Director of a large NHS mental health trust, where, as well as leading services, he was responsible for strategic organisational change. He worked with senior clinicians and managers as the organization shaped and developed its services and adapted and changed in response to the wider environment.  John believes that services can be both humane (for staff and patients) and effectively organised. Along the way through his career, he designed and facilitated shared learning and development events for health and social care leaders and staff at a national level

John nowadays works independently – alone and with a small network of fellow specialists – to support individuals, teams and organisations in health and social care.  He is committed to working with the quality of the ‘fit’ between human beings and the systems they work in as they face change, stress, conflict or crisis. 

John writes, blogs, lectures and takes part in learning events.  He is co-author, with Penny Campling and Chris Maloney, of ‘Intelligent Kindness: Rehabilitating the Welfare State’ (CUP 2020) – the much-reworked 2nd edition of his and Penny’s gratifyingly successful 2011 book, ‘Intelligent Kindness: Reforming the Culture of Healthcare’.

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 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.

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.
