Leadership for Results

The past two days I was fortunate to attend the IHI IMPACT (Improvement/Action) Network conference in Detroit. I was recruited by the IMPACT team to create a blog for the event so that IMPACT members (and Open School chapters) who were not present could review the materials presented by the numerous speakers.

I wanted to share the blog with you. Please feel free to comment on any of the pieces-the posts are organized in order of the speakers and panels that took place.

About the IHI IMPACT Network:
The IMPACT network is central to the strategy and concept of IHI and is a vehicle to drive change. It consists of leadership such as hospital executives and senior managers who are interested to drive system change and improvement. The program holds two meetings annually and as a “spread device”, IMPACT is about coming together and sharing knowledge locally, nationally and internationally. This week's event primarily included healthcare leaders from the Michigan community, IHI faculty and directors and other hospital CEOs from around the country.

I hope you are having a wonderful summer. Rubbing elbows with Donald Berwick and the IHI faculty has definitely gotten me very excited for our Open School activities to resume in September together!
