How can we improve #improvement in health and health care?
After all, improvement begins at home.

Some significant challenges raised by @MaryDixonWoods
Not least amongst this is the reliance on unvalidated measures.

This is a substantial task.
Measures need to be co-produced and good enough for evidence-building.

It follows therefore that research and evaluation are an important obligation of #improvement programmes.
Well-intentioned efforts can have unforeseen and/or harmful effects

Good examples of intubation boxes for preventing #COVID transmission.
Seems like a great idea, didn't stack up in practice.
@MaryDixonWoods at #Quality2021; we have learned a new German word: Verschlimmbesserung
"Doing harm whilst trying to do things right"

"The work as imagined is not the same as the work that is done"
Process evaluations are an invaluable tool for untangling these issues.

So how do we evaluate #improvement efforts?
We need to be aware of fidelity/loyalty issues, the practical limitations on conventional trial designs and, crucially, the relationship between the stakeholders, esp researchers and practitioners.

As you'd expect, there's lots to choose from.
Q - How can we better use high quality research in QI?
A - We need better channels for QI research, curated by collaborators, for sharing this information.
Idea to @MaryDixonWoods please ;-) #Quality2021

Q - What do we keep a check on our biases?
A - Be aware of the limitations of your evidence; improvement at larger scales allows comparisons to be made within the system.
We need better infrastructure for #improvement research, like we have for clinical research.

Ultimately, we need to be "democratising what 'good' looks like" into our evaluations.
Many thanks to @MaryDixonWoods for a fascinating session.

Breakout chat was about involving everyone, doing proper evaluation, and scaling up from the "projectised" model.
What are we taking home? Perhaps it's converging around #engagement, avoiding "lovely baby syndrome" and doing rigorous research/evaluation.
