For the past few years we have been experimenting with different ways of thinking and doing in the implementation of South Africa's Ideal Clinic QI initiative. In this recent paper, co-authored with Lucy Gilson, Beth Engelbrecht and Alfonso Patientia, we share lessons learnt from using a three-pronged approach to strengthen and leverage the implementation of the initiative to support learning and continuous improvement. The approach focused on 1) trusting relationships, 2) reflexive assessment and 3) collective sense-making & collaboration. The key messages from this experience are: *In an environment of trusting relationships, psychological safety, reflexive processes and collaboration, healthcare standards-based QI initiatives can provide powerful avenues for learning and meaningful change. *However, leveraging these sorts of QI initiatives, such as the Ideal Clinic, requires recognising and grappling with the underlying complex realities of healthcare delivery, as well as the social and micropolitical dimensions of QI. *A rigid focus on centrally pre-determined targets without recognising and addressing underlying system and process challenges can result in negative unintended consequences and actually undermine learning and improvement efforts. *Rushed and undue pressure on healthcare facilities to comply with standards, coupled with unrealistic expectations and lack of sufficient support, can lead to artificial compliance with limited value for the quality of care. #districthealthsystem #learninghealthsystems #systemsthinking #healthcarestandards #qualityimprovement https://lnkd.in/dFM42Sa5

📆 Coming up this week - our FREE webinar 'Advancing Healthcare: A Critical Debate on the Merits of Advanced Practice for Allied Health Professionals' is taking place on Thursday 22 August! The global healthcare workforce is facing increasing pressure, including the growing complexity of care, highlighting the urgent need to optimise the scope of practice of AHPs and develop robust career pathways to maintain their engagement in clinical roles.

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 I'm thrilled to announce the publication of my latest journal article, co-authored with Dr. Ceri Sims: "The experience of self-compassion training among NHS healthcare professionals." Our study investigates the experiences of NHS healthcare professionals who participated in a short self-compassion training and practised it over four weeks. We identified key themes from their experiences: - Motivation: Understanding the benefits sparked a desire to practise and share self-compassion. - Permission: Embracing common humanity reduces negative self-talk in the workplace. - Prioritisation: Despite busy workloads, prioritising self-compassion is essential for HCPs. Our findings highlight the transformative potential of self-compassion in healthcare settings. I invite you to read the full article and share your thoughts! https://lnkd.in/ejvJg-AA #SelfCompassion #Healthcare #Research #NHS #Wellbeing

Revolutionizing Accessibility to Healthcare in Remote Rural Areas with the Kawan Sehat Book The Kawan Sehat Book by Fair Future Foundation and Kawan Baik Indonesia on Primary Healthcare is transforming healthcare in extremely rural areas by providing vital medical information to local health advocates. The book empowers communities to address urgent health issues independently in areas where medical centres (Puskesmas) and hospitals are often far away. Designed to meet local requirements, the book uses simple language, visuals, and regional dialects for improved accessibility. Combined with hands-on training sessions, it empowers health workers engaged under the Primary Medical Care program to provide life-saving medical and health care while minimizing reliance on remote resources. This initiative is a sustainable step towards improving health outcomes, reducing the healthcare gap, and fostering resilient communities. Together, we are making healthcare a reality for those who need it most. aw/20.12.2024 "-In the absence of accessible healthcare facilities, educating communities becomes an imperative solution"- Johnson, et al. 2023. https://lnkd.in/gXg4jkDc

2024 marked the 15th anniversary of the Institute’s Centre for Quality and Patient Safety Research (QPS), a momentous milestone for this leading Australian centre for applied health services research. QPS’s work impacts over 33,000 nurses annually and touches the care of more than three million patients and aged care residents across urban, regional, and rural settings. Its programs span both public and private healthcare sectors, focusing on patient safety, patient experience, and workforce improvement. QPS’s distinctive model is rooted in its embedded partnerships with leading Victorian healthcare providers, including Alfred Health, Barwon Health, Epworth Healthcare, Western Health, Eastern Health, and Monash Health. This approach is further enhanced by co-funded roles, creating genuine collaboration between researchers and industry partners. “Unlike typical research partnerships, our researchers are fully embedded within organisations,” says Professor Tracey Bucknall. “This ensures our work is meaningful, relevant, and highly impactful.” Read more: https://deakin.au/4081Tik Deakin Research Deakin University - Health Research

The EFPC will be hosting a webinar on “Teamwork makes the dream work – tools for interprofessional collaboration in primary care in Austria”, on 31 October 2024, at 12h30-13h30 (CET), by Sarah Burgmann and Johanna Pilwarsch The webinar will explore forms of interprofessional collaboration (IPC) in primary care (PC) and their definitions. In the past 10 years Austria went through a PC reform making a shift from mono-professional GP practices to multiprofessional primary health care units (PHCU). To accompany the reform process the Austrian PHC platform developed diverse tools for the multiprofessional teams of PHCUs to support IPC in primary care. Various methods were employed, including literature reviews, focus groups, and expert workshops. The resulting outputs comprise recommendations for IPC, an onboarding map, fact sheets of healthcare and social professions working in primary health care units (PHCU), and intraprofessional networking groups. These resources aim to enhance IPC, which is associated with improved outcomes in the delivery of patient care (e.g. continuity, coordination, satisfaction, complex needs) as well as job satisfaction. The webinar presents these tools and discusses their potential impact on fostering effective IPC in primary care practices.
