The 26th Annual National on Quality Improvement in Healthcare

It's that time of the year when the IHI is leading the most important event in QI. I am hoping that soon I will be able to participate to this exciting, innovative forum on quality improvement in healthcare. But until then, I will gladly follow this event on the web and on twitter (#IHI26forum). The event runs from Dec 7 to Dec 10 in Orlando, FL and is a great opportunity for networking and interactive learning. For more details please follow this link.

And here is a brief and excellent history on QI, in a creative video. It depicts also the incredible role the IHI plays in QI, and its progress so far! Enjoy!





Arlene Dickinson in Calgary

"I believe it’s an individual responsibility to help contribute to improving your work environment—and if you can’t, to leave and find a job elsewhere."



This is Arlene Dickinson, and her own words from her book "Persuasion- A new approach to changing minds". As part of the Luncheon Series events organized by Women of Influence, Arlene's message will surely be well received by her audience on November 12, at the Telus Convention Centre. Persuasion is not only a necessary skill but an attribute of a successful change agent.  "Like leaders, they inspire, but persuaders have a different goal: they seek collaboration, not domination. Or to put it another way, persuaders want partners, not followers."

Be inspired and hone your persuasion skills! More details about the event here.
