Br4: How to create a virtual collaborative for wider, faster, more sustainable change
This session showcases the massive opportunities for healthcare improvers to switch to virtual collaboration methods.
Virtual collaboration is a key way we will do healthcare improvement in future. It enables us to involve many more people in our improvement efforts, engage clinical colleagues without taking them away from their jobs, increase diversity and get better outcomes. It works with numbers from five to a thousand people.
It’s much more about relationships, engagement and design than digital platforms. We’ll show you how to establish a collaborative programme that’s up to 90% virtual and how to combine virtual methods with face to face for accelerated results.
By the end of our session, you will be able to:
• See the potential of virtual collaboratives to enhance and accelerate healthcare improvement.
• Learn about the competencies of two key roles in virtual collaboration: the virtual facilitator and the virtual host/producer
• Reflect on the potential of virtual collaboratives for your own improvement efforts
