Imagine a land where….
A patients’ charter of rights and responsibilities is in place that
includes waiting time guarantees.
Over 90% of patients requiring elective care are treated within 18
weeks.
Over 98% of in-patient procedures and day-surgery cases are treated within 12 weeks of agreement to
treat.
Over 90% of patients are seen within four hours in the emergency
department.
Citizens can access the most appropriate member of their
primary care team within 48 hours.
Up-to-date statistics and reports on wait times and health system
performance indicators are publicly available.

Fortunately, this land already exists

Share of hospital costs accounted for by administration

United States; 25.3%
Netherlands; 19.8%
England; 15.5%
Wales; 14.3%
Canada; 12.4%
Scotland; 11.6%
Himmelstein et al, Health Affairs, September 2014
“Among the UK nations, Scotland’s administrative costs were lowest, England’s were highest and Wales’ were in between. This ranking correlates roughly with the role of market mechanisms in those nations’ health care systems.”

Some Basic Premises
1. Most people are trying hard most of the time to do a job they can be proud of.
2. All improvement is change (though not all change is improvement).
3. Fear is an enemy of improvement.
4. You feel like this now……

Bright spots: Vietnamese children and Jerry Sternin
• Prior to 1990, Vietnam had one of the worst levels of malnutrition in the world
• How do you motivate a nation to improve outcomes?
35
![Page 36: 2014 Beardmore Lecture Derek Feeley Executive Vice President Institute for Healthcare Improvement November 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649c755503460f94929752/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Bright spots
• In 1990, Jerry Sternin was asked to open an office for Save the Children in Vietnam.
• With a $50k budget, he was tasked with fixing malnutrition for children across the country.
• He started with 1 village.• Sternin recruited mothers who were ‘motivated.’ • Identified bright spots among the malnournished.

The bright spots: what was different?
• Norms among malnourished
• Fed children twice a day
• Let children feed themselves
• Principal staple was rice
• Sweet-potato greens associated with a stigma of being poor
37
Source; Dan Health; Switch 2010
• Bright spots• Fed children four times a
day• Actively fed children by
spoon if needed• Added shrimp, crabs, and
sweet-potato greens to the meal

Bright Spots- Vietnam
• The start- 4 mothers as Bright Spots• Spread to 50 malnourished families with mother’s in
groups of 10 getting together to cook meals and feed kids
• Six months later 65% of kids nourishment status improved
• Spread to 14 Villages• Reached 265 villages and 2.2 million Vietnamese
people

Assets vs. Deficits48
Assets Thinking:
Strengths based
How can we create community spirit?
What can I do?
We’re all in this together
We’re getting there
Work with engaged people
People have the answers
People control their lives
Deficit Thinking:
Problem orientated
How to fix this problem?
Someone needs to sort this
Us versus them
Problems are embedded
Do things to people
People are a problem
People can’t be trusted to make decisions or be in control
![Page 49: 2014 Beardmore Lecture Derek Feeley Executive Vice President Institute for Healthcare Improvement November 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649c755503460f94929752/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Comfortable with complexity
• Leaders as “sense makers”• Allow solutions to emerge• Beware the “aye been”• Accept paradox and contradiction
![Page 50: 2014 Beardmore Lecture Derek Feeley Executive Vice President Institute for Healthcare Improvement November 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649c755503460f94929752/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Share power (or bring back Mutuality!)
• Embrace co-production• Cede power to get influence• Rights and responsibilities
![Page 51: 2014 Beardmore Lecture Derek Feeley Executive Vice President Institute for Healthcare Improvement November 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649c755503460f94929752/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Organizations Learning from Patients
The Old Way• Ryhov Hospital in Jönköping had traditional hemodialysis and peritoneal
dialysis center.• But in 2005, a patient, Christian, asked about doing it himself.
![Page 52: 2014 Beardmore Lecture Derek Feeley Executive Vice President Institute for Healthcare Improvement November 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649c755503460f94929752/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The New Way
Christian taught a 73-yr-old woman how to do it…
…and they started to teach others how to do it.

Lessons to Date
From Christian (patient):• “I have a new definition of health.”• “I want to live a full life. I have more
energy and am complete.”• “I learned and I taught the person next to
me, and next to her. The oldest patient on self-dialysis is 83 years old.”
• “Of course the care is safer in my hands.”

patients, family, and staff• Managing at 1/2 – 1/3 less cost per patient• Evidence of better outcomes, lower costs, far
fewer complications and infections• “We brought in the county’s employment,
helped the patients make or update the CVs, and trained them for a new career.”

The heart, the soul and the act
• A nation’s culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people. • Mahatma Gandhi
• “It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.” • Mahatma Gandhi
