IHI Podcast on Psychology of Change May 10th, Annual NPSF Event May 23-25

The Institute for Healthcare Improvement, now a merged partner with the National Patient Safety Foundation, is promoting an upcoming webinar May 10 at 2PM ET on “How to Make Change Happen: An Introduction to IHI’s Psychology of Change Framework”.​ This webinar comes just weeks before the annual IHI/NPSF Patient Safety Congress taking place May 23-25th in Boston, MA. We feel this webinar can just as easily speak towards those roadblocks to change we simulationists experience in our field of simulation in healthcare and will be a big help to those starting or expanding a program.

​Webinar Presenters

  • Kate B. Hilton, JD, MTS, IHI Faculty and Senior Consultant, ReThink Health
  • Alex Anderson, Research Associate, IHI
  • Michael Rose, MD, Anesthesiologist, Vice-President of Surgical Services & Chairperson of Community Board of Trustees, McLeod Regional Medical Center

Webinar Abstract

Sponsored Content:

For the past 30 years, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI)​ has worked with organizations around the world to improve health and health care using an approach to quality improvement that’s grounded in W. Edwards Deming’s System of Profound Knowledge. Dedicated improvers know that, to achieve results, we need to consistently apply systems thinking, an understanding of variation, and theories of knowledge. So, what often stands in the way of adopting and spreading meaningful improvements? Breaking news: People are resistant to change.

Deming himself stressed the importance of psychology — or the adaptive, human side of change — in his System of Profound Knowledge. But health care improvers still have a lot of work to do to sharpen our thinking, vocabulary, and tools in this challenging domain.

That’s why the IHI Innovation Team has been researching and testing “psychology of change” ideas and methods to promote and accelerate successful, scalable, and sustainable improvement work. On the May 10 WIHI: How to Make Change Happen: An Introduction to IHI’s Psychology of Change Framework, we’ll share their learning from the past year.

Kate Hilton and Alex Anderson will describe how they are working with organizations to implement the IHI Psychology of Change Framework. And Dr. Michael Rose will talk about implementing many of these methods to spread the use and adoption of a surgical safety checklist at McLeod Regional Health Center in Florence, South Carolina.
