TRIZ


TRIZ – First Step

In groups, make a list of “to do’s” in answer to your assigned question on a flip chart.

There is no wrong answer – GO WILD!

5 minutes


Questions

1. How can we ensure privacy is breached on social media tools such as Twitter/Facebook?

2. How do we make sure no one is on Twitter?

3. How can ensure NO dialogue, learning or sharing occurs online?

4. What could we do to ensure we do NOT succeed in using social media as a health care improvement tool?


TRIZ – Second Step

Go down the list and ask:

“Is there anything on this list that we currently practice, even remotely?”

— Cross out the ones that we aren’t doing EVER— Circle the ones that resemble something we

aren’t currently doing


TRIZ – Third Step

Take one item at a time and ask:—How am I and how are we going to stop it? —What would be the first move? —What could I personally commit to stopping right now. —What could we do in the next few days? Next week? —Do we need leadership help? Organizational support?”


A little more on privacy …


So what do you think?

• Privacy violation?

• Benefit of starting conversation to raise awareness of polypharmacy?


Let’s Get to the Fun Stuff

What will the following media have in common?

• Free or cheap

• Communities and interaction

• Share info, resources, campaigns, etc.

Power Distance Index


A high power distance score accepts a hierarchical order in which everyone has a place that needs no further justification.

The higher the power distance in a culture, the less likely those in subordinate roles will question the actions or directions of individuals in authority.

Geert Hofstede’s Power Distance Index

www.Clearlycultural.com#qfM8 | #quality2015

http://www.Clearlycultural.com

High Power Distance Index Cultures

• Authority and demonstrate rank.

• Subordinates expect clear guidance from above.

• Subordinates are expected to take the blame for

things going wrong (Collateral damage).

• The relationship between boss and subordinate

is rarely close or personal.

• Class divisions within society are accepted.

Ron Collins, 2014#qfM8 | #quality2015

Can hierarchy cause plane crashes?


Power Distance Index

Canada = 39 Norway = 31


Questions to ask yourself …

• Are you aware of how others react to you?

• Do they start or stop talking when you enter the room?

• Do you feel you can not talk to higher levels in the organization without permission.

• Does your organization encourage the use of titles and position


What do you see in a high power distance index?

Geert Hofstedehttp://geert-hofstede.com

• Senior-level people get no information

• Senior leaders perceive that everything is going well

• Junior-level people do not bring ideas forward.


Leger For:bedring (Doctorsfor:Improvement)

• London 2013

• Tweetup

• ”We need to create a forum for doctors and medical students interested in improvement”


• Virtual communication: Facebook page, Twitter, Pinterest

• A meeting held spring 2014 – 23 people from different areas of medicine

• ”We need an informal and independent forum to discuss practical issues related to QI&PS”


Question we asked ourselves

• People are busy, how do we get them to commit?

• Do we want to/have to formalize a networklike this in order to make it sustainable?

• Do we need an end product?


https://pixelearning.wordpress.com#qfM8 | #quality2015

Objective:

• To increase the adoption and

compliance of sepsis protocols

Plan:• Every five protocols = 1 life

saved*

• Across BC: 750 patients treated = 150 Lives saved in 150 days!

• Encourage best practice and teamwork

*For cases of severe sepsis and septic shock


What were your ah-ha moments?


Thank you!
