Learning from ACC Vanguards – supporting STPs to deliver

 

The new care models programme offered an online discussion as we explore the acute care collaboration (ACC) model in depth from a different perspective. The discussion allowed us to share and spread learning from the ACC vanguard communities, including how the vanguards have improved care for patients and the working lives of staff, and discussed how the learning from ACC vanguards can support sustainability and transformation plans (STPs) to improve care for local people.

The session was chaired by Dr Charlie Davie, Managing Director at UCL Partners AHSN, and includes Jacob West as the national ACC Care Model Lead alongside a panel of ACC vanguard directors and representatives. The panel discussed what they have done and learned in setting up their model of care and give a picture of what support might be available for future adopters.

Ahead of the session we shared this introduction to the ACC vanguards.

What it’s like to deliver enhanced health in care homes?

What it’s like to deliver enhanced health in care homes?

Join the new care models programme and the national enhanced health in care homes vanguards in an online discussion as we delve into this care model in more depth. The discussion will allow us to get insights into the benefits of the model, how it has been developed and what our colleagues have experienced in setting up their models. We hope to share and spread learning from the vanguard communities and support future adopters to understand the model and how it has been delivered.

A panel of colleagues along with care home provider organisations and patients/carers will discuss what they have done and learned from setting up their model of care and what might be useful for those considering taking forward the enhanced health in care homes framework. Those joining the session will have lots of opportunity to ask the panel questions about the model and get the answer straight from those who are doing it every day.

October 2016: Stories Change the World: the power of public narrative

Public narrative is the “why” of organising—the art of translating values into action through stories.

kathryn

The #EdgeTalks on 7 October featured Kathryn Perera (Head of Transformation, Horizons) who ran a masterclass in crafting public narrative and its role in leadership development, building capacity and strengthening our own resolve to act effectively with others to drive change.

In preparation for Fab Change Day 2016, Kathryn guided us through developing our own public narrative which can be used to support local Fab Change Day activities. What you learnt about was the power of social movements and how this has supported local and national groups to lead change. We also had the chance to hear Fab Change Day stories as well as having the opportunity to share our own stories and making connections.

To join the conversation and share your stories please post on Twitter using #edgetalks

Care Design 2016 – Empowering citizens for health

Crowdsourcing. Open Innovation. The ‘wisdom of crowds’. Co-creation. These terms are cropping up more and more frequently in both blog posts and board rooms, and it would be easy to dismiss crowdsourcing as the latest management zeitgeist. However, at Crowdicity we see every day how connected crowds are able to find more, and better, solutions, and that they have the power to drive change.

Last year, using the Crowdicity Ideas Management Platform, The Edge invited a community of Healthcare professionals to help define and put into practice a series of principles related to Care Design. This online community sought to not only define the principles, but to also share ways of putting them into practice. The Care Design community became more than a place for sharing ideas on a topic, it became a hub for sharing resources and practical advice for the implementation of better care design.

Co-creation projects are not limited to experts and leaders in particular fields, the beauty of crowd sourcing innovation is that ideas can come from frontline staff. Often, it’s the people on the ground, who know the day-to-day challenges of healthcare, that are the least likely to be asked for input in strategic decision making, Crowdsourcing gives these people a voice.

One of our earliest successes at Crowdicity was in the healthcare sector. We helped Dorset Health Care University NHS Foundation Trust to design and launch a community called i-matter, a system that was open to all members of staff within the trust. In the first three months, i-matter captured over 1,430 individual contributions across ten challenges. This has resulted in a number of ideas being taken forward and adopted, one in as little as 22 hours. Furthermore, because the project engaged staff, they were more committed to implementing the ideas that they helped to create! Read more about the i-matter project in our case study.

Taking the idea of frontline, crowd-sourced innovation one step further, we helped the University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto set up an online community to discuss how its hospitals sourced and delivered patient meals. The overall goal of the UHN team was to find a way to use more local sources for food, whilst also balancing patients needs and budget constraints.

The crowdsourcing project sought the views of staff, patients and the local community. The aim was to get a better picture of the challenges involved in changing the patient food system, and to understand the views of staff and patients. In their own words, the leaders of the initiative explained:
Crowdsourcing generated interest and engagement from the community. It uncovered broader discussions on the challenges with hospital food, and a glimpse into the disconnect between ideas and realities.

These case studies illustrate the power of Crowdsourcing in healthcare innovation; connecting experts, frontline staff, patients and the wider community provides decision makers with a wider range of perspectives and ideas. In addition, co-creation communities also allow staff to have a say in how their patients’ care is designed and executed; giving them a voice creates a more empowered, more engaged workforce. In short, crowdsourcing absolutely deserves its place in healthcare innovation today.

5 Steps to create a strong BATNA for negotiating success

Stay with me – this article discusses the power base in any negotiation and the bottom line that may exist the Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement, the BATNA.  As people trying to bring about change, foster innovation and support others to do the same having an awareness of this concept could make all the difference.

A large part of my current networking and face to face work is about leveling the playing field to enable successful future innovation and change that sticks. A useful article to consider as it offer an alternative view if it is your situation or could be.
