Background: Health care huddles are increasingly employed in a range of formats but theoretical mechanisms underlying remain relatively uncharted. Purpose: A complexity science view implies that essential managerial strategies for high-performing health organizations include meaningful conversations, enhanced relationships, and learning culture. These three dimensions informed our approach to studying huddles. We explore new theories how why have been useful organizations. Methods: used...
Abstract Objective Motivated by the coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19) pandemic, we developed a novel Shewhart chart to visualize and learn from variation in reported deaths an epidemic. Context Without method understand if day-to-day outcomes may be attributed meaningful signals of change—rather than variability would expect—care providers, improvement leaders, policy-makers, public will struggle recognize epidemic conditions are improving. Methods We hybrid C-chart I-chart detect within...
Our goal is to improve the safety and effectiveness of inpatient care. Rather than focus on improving process care, we social structure within physician teams. We have developed Physician Relationships, Improvising, Sensemaking (PRISm) intervention way teams round, enabling them better relate, make sense their patients’ conditions, improvise in uncertain clinical situations. are currently studying impact PRISm adverse events complications hospitalized patients. This manuscript describes...
Research into human dynamical systems has long sought to identify robust signals for behavior. We have discovered a series of social network-based indicators that are reliable predictors team creativity and collaborative innovation. extract these from electronic records interpersonal interactions, including e-mail, face-to-face interaction measured via sociometric badges. The first is Rotating Leadership, measuring the degree which, over time, actors in vary how central they team's...
Abstract Objective As the globe endures coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, we developed a hybrid Shewhart chart to visualize and learn from day-to-day variation in variety of epidemic measures over time. Context Countries localities have reported daily data representing progression COVID-19 conditions measures, with trajectories mapping along classic epidemiological curve. Settings experienced different patterns time within epidemic: pre-exponential growth, exponential plateau or...
In this paper we describe a methodology to measure communication behaviors in innovation teams. We collected data over two years by mining email archives and applied the study teams working re-design delivery of care for chronically ill children. used social network analysis sentiment calculate metrics such as group density, betweenness centrality, actor average weighted variance contribution index, emotionality ratio. administered surveys senior leaders assess their perception teams’...
Objectives: Could medical research and quality improvement studies be more productive with greater use of multifactor study designs? Methods: Drawing on new primary sources the literature, we examine roles A. Bradford Hill Ronald Fisher in introducing design experiments medicine. Results: did not create randomized controlled trial, but he popularized idea. His choice to set aside Fisher's advanced designs shaped development clinical helped single-treatment trial become a methodological...
If an individual on the edge of a problem's context can generate creative solutions to that problem, does this capacity emerge in spite their marginality...or because it? How marginality be leveraged collaborative context? The purpose paper is explore link between and creativity through untangling technical social marginality. We advance sociocognitive processes lead marginal individuals, more so than those who are embedded, positively impact group-level performance. derive implications for context.
<h3>Background</h3> Healthcare improvement work benefits from diverse stakeholder participation. Great strides are being made towards formal collaborative relationships with patients and their caregivers. But how will we know if these overtures evolve into true partnerships? Reliable methods for tracking participation needed to understand enumerate contributions of families may impact costs, care, outcomes. <h3>Objectives</h3> We share an innovative approach evaluating in healthcare...
