Inspired by the insights from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s white paper on effective board governance in health systems, it's clear that prioritizing quality is more than a commitment; it’s a responsibility. As leaders, our role extends beyond ensuring financial stability; we must champion a culture where safety, patient-centered care, and continuous improvement are at the forefront of our governance. The framework provided by IHI emphasizes the importance of educating trustees on the full dimensions of quality and integrating these principles into every level of decision-making. When boards actively engage in quality oversight, not only do they drive better patient outcomes, but they also set the tone for a culture of excellence that permeates the entire organization. At both Imperial College London Diabetes Centre and HealthPlus Network of Specialty Centers we move forward with a renewed focus on governing for quality, knowing that our dedication can transform healthcare delivery for the better. #HealthcareLeadership #QualityImprovement #PatientSafety #BoardGovernance #IHIFramework #ContinuousImprovement **Reference: Institute for Healthcare Improvement.

📢 The Call for Abstracts for #EHMA2025 is still open - just one week left to submit yours! ⏳ At the heart of people-centred care is a transformative approach that empowers citizens and patients to take an active role in managing their health, rather than being passive recipients of services. 💪🩺 #EHMA2025 invites research that explores innovative models and strategies for implementing people-centred care within healthcare systems, placing individuals, families, and communities at the core of decision-making. 🧪📖 People-centred care revolves around treating individuals with dignity, offering coordinated and personalised care, and enabling independent living. This approach is particularly valuable for addressing the needs of patients with chronic or multimorbid conditions, ensuring their involvement in the planning, development, and monitoring of their care. 📋 Health managers play a critical role in driving this paradigm shift, leading efforts to design services that reflect patient needs and experiences. By adopting a holistic approach, managers can ensure that the patient’s voice is central to healthcare decision-making and service design. 🏥 #EHMA2025 offers the perfect platform to discuss strategies for balancing evidence-based health management with patient preferences, fostering multi-stakeholder partnerships, and exploring the policy changes needed to enable this transition to people-centred systems. If your research focuses on models and processes that advance the concept of people-centred care, we invite you to share your insights at EHMA2025.

Whole system quality focuses on improving the entire system, not just individual parts. It emphasizes interconnectedness, customer focus, continuous improvement& learning, data, collaboration, leadership, and equity.

So good! Especially the quote below: “#Quality in #healthcare is not just about meeting #standards; it’s about creating a #culture of continuous learning and #resilience.”

Whole System Quality, as outlined in IHI's White Paper, emphasizes creating a culture of continuous learning and resilience across all healthcare organization levels to deliver sustainable, high-quality care that meets the evolving needs of patients and communities. #HealthcareQuality #healthcareLeadership #ContinuousImprovement #PatientCenteredCare #WholeSystemQuality #IHI #healthcare #patientsafety 

The concept of Whole System Quality, as outlined by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, is a powerful reminder that quality in healthcare is not just about meeting standards; it’s about creating a culture of continuous learning and resilience. This approach emphasizes that every layer of an organization, from the boardroom to the bedside, plays a crucial role in delivering sustainable, high-quality care. By integrating quality planning, control, and improvement across the system, we can ensure that the evolving needs of patients, populations, and communities are consistently met. As healthcare leaders, our commitment to whole system quality means embracing a holistic approach that aligns our strategies with the real needs of those we serve. This isn't just a pathway to excellence—it's a promise to our patients that we will continuously strive to improve, adapt, and respond to challenges with agility and compassion. #HealthcareQuality #LeadershipInHealthcare #ContinuousImprovement #PatientCenteredCare #WholeSystemQuality #IHI

I am delighted to announce my partnership with Healthcare World. Strategic alliances are critical for innovation in healthcare—no single organisation has all the answers. Our partnership strengthens efforts to develop solutions that address the complex challenges in primary care globally. In an industry often clouded by jargon, our mission is to deliver strategies that tackle the root causes of complexities in primary healthcare. The challenge lies in re-engineering the health economy to deliver "value-based health systems" across primary care, rather than simply pursuing "value-based care." After all, value-based care is central to clinicians’ training and ethos—it’s what they do-they are valuable because they are trained to provide valuable care. However, the delivery systems—the context, culture, funding mechanisms, patient-clinician dynamics, and alignment of outcomes—form the ecosystem that enables clinicians to provide value. By addressing these systemic factors, we aim to inspire meaningful change globally, ensuring that innovation translates into measurable improvements in patient care and system performance. #healthcareworld #nhsengland #primarycare
