Healthcare Supplier Diversity Alliance’s Post

At Eastern General Hospital’s “Professionals” Retreat, we acknowledge that the healthcare elementum is a complex, interconnected system of diverse needs and services.   In our deep dive into “Systemness,” we explored ways to anticipate health trajectories beyond the hospital’s walls, fostering a seamless integration of care through trust, connectedness, and having a person-centered approach.   Achieving this starts with a growth and transformative mindset. It’s also about distilling what’s essential, building foundational platforms, and then thoughtfully layering on approaches that work.   *Picture shows murals drawn for the 5 P’s of Healthcare: Patients, Professionals, Public (People), Planet, Payer.   #EGH # EasternGeneralHospital #Systemness #GrowthMindset #FutureOfHealthcare

Mr. Prashant Sharma, Charnock Hospital, discussed how the perception of private healthcare is that it is unaffordable. This mindset needs a gradual turn as we explore possibilities through the PPP ecosystem. #NATHEALTHAnnualSummit #AyushmanBharat #Connect #Collaborate #Create #IndianHealthcare #MedTech #PrivateHealthcare #DigitalHealth #HealthFinancing #CSRHealthcare #HealthcareExcellence #ArogyaBharatSummit

Shaping healthcare for the future🚨 With patient waiting times in several countries around the world at record highs, how can the healthcare sector prepare for future demands? The construction of new hospitals is necessary to meet the demands of today, but they must also anticipate future needs. Effective design and delivery of these facilities is fundamental to their success. In our paper, 'Delivering Hospital 2050', we outlined how to best deliver future-ready hospitals that support healthcare professionals to serve the communities they work in.

Delighted to represent Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust at ‘Embracing Innovation in the NHS: Health Tech and Digital’ hosted by #HealthInnovationNetwork (HIN, South London). Brilliant and inspiring discussion bringing together representation from the #NHS and #industry with a commitment to co-develop the future of #innovation. ➡️ patient first approach is core, and personally add this means ‘safety first’. ➡️ prototype, iterate, repeat - keep learning and improving! Be brave and proceed with confidence. ➡️ procurement processes can be agile where there is commitment towards this. Important to consider scaling from the outset - who needs to be on your panel to enable this seamlessly? ➡️ don’t forget the ‘human’ aspect of digital health - relationship building and entrustment will bring dividends at all stages of innovation. ➡️ the NHS can learn from agility seen in industry and industry can learn from the evaluative rigour of the NHS. Mostly, energising to be surrounded by optimism from a community of #healthcare #innovators - striving to do better for patients, especially at this time for the #NHS. It was fun as well as thought provoking!

Last year, at IHI’s annual Forum, I focused my keynote on the importance of connecting to purpose. That connection, important for everyone, is simply crucial for those of us who work in health care. It’s the lifebuoy that can keep us from drowning in a churning sea of challenges. And yet the systems we work in are, far too often, getting in the way of this connection.    In my work with health systems, I’ve become accustomed to observing exhausted front-line care teams struggling with numerous additional performance measures and methods on top of their daily work of caring for patients. The systems we work in feel extractive, not supportive. Instead of giving and enabling, they squeeze us and force us into false choices: volume or value; mission or margin; safety or equity; profit or purpose. It’s not the people in these systems who are failing us, it’s the design of the systems that fails us, and our patients. So I posited a few questions to those at #IHIForum last December: “How might we build a health and care environment that trusts us – the patients & clinicians in the system – and optimizes for our purpose?” “What would such a system look like?” and “How do we fight for that kind of system?”   Fortunately, as leader of IHI, I can see answers to these questions emerging. We’ve looked at hundreds of systems globally and we see patterns in those that do it right. I described these successful approaches, which manifest in many ways, as “embedded quality.” These systems are designed with an understanding that quality isn't just a metric, it’s the intended outcome of the systems. Quality isn’t “on the side.” It’s embedded in every aspect of the system. Common features of these systems include a focus on what matters to patients and the staff; a real recognition of the ever-increasing complexity in today’s health care; the centrality of learning in organizational culture; transparency as a core principle; an operationalized understanding that “quality” includes everything – clinical outcomes, #safety, #equity, patient experience, & efficiency; and effective use of technology to knit it all into one coherent operating system. Those of us in health care should heed an axiom from other complex industries: “We rarely rise to the level of our aspirations, but we always fall to the level of our systems.”   IHI is working to better understand and spread this kind of system – a Care Operating System. I’m thrilled to share that Josh Clark, RN, MHA, has joined IHI to lead this work. Josh comes to us from Jefferson Health (and Carilion Clinic before that) where he studied, developed, and deployed these kinds of systems. You’ll soon hear more from IHI about this exciting new work, including this week at IHI’s annual Patient Safety Congress. For those joining us at #IHICongress, I look forward to seeing you. For all of you interested in working with us to redesign our systems and re-establish our connection to our purpose, I look forward to collaborating.

America’s healthcare system is expensive and inaccessible to too many. In a new Locums Profile, we profile research firm Advisory Board and its mission to improve healthcare at https://loom.ly/5vOjGAo. Today’s healthcare leaders are grappling with the immense challenge of navigating acute clinician shortages, surging service demand, declining reimbursements, rising costs, and growing provider burnout. Having the right support can make all the difference in such a harsh environment. For more than 40 years, Advisory Board has equipped healthcare leaders with the resources to craft effective business strategies that address these issues. The firm collaborates with a diverse array of organizations—major healthcare systems, rural hospitals, locum tenens staffing firms, and even corporate retailers—ensuring every perspective is considered. We recently met with Advisory Board’s Daniel Kuzmanovich, a healthcare strategist, facilitator, and thought leader, to discuss the firm’s philosophy. The result is a new Locums Profile that may open your eyes. Read the story: https://loom.ly/5vOjGAo #HealthcareStaffing #LocumTenens
