I’ve said many times that Quality Improvement (QI) is not the same as Continuous Improvement (CI). I’ll say it again, QI is not the same as CI. Have a look at this: https://aqua.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Embedding-a-Culture-and-System-for-Continuous-Improvement.pdf. ‘Embedding a culture and system for continuous improvement’. The word…Read more

The webinar wasn’t up to much anyway so you didn’t miss anything. Anyway here is a bit on the PACA (PDSA) cycle. It’s part of Continuous Improvement (CI) not QI. Not no mention of improvement science or a lengthy report. See: …Read more

I found quite a few nuggets of wisdom in your webinar Tom so thank you. I was trying to re watch parts as i particularly enjoyed your definitions of Quality vs Continuous Improvement, this is something i am getting wrong at present However i cannot access the recording to listen again where it is stored – appears to want em to log in to the CQI…Read more

Thanks for you comments Matt. I don’t think that the recording is available yet but will check. I’ll let you know. You can find the pages here: https://catmalvern.co.uk/Lectures/Lecture11/Index.html

People get confused over Quality vs Specification and Quality Improvement vs Continual Improvement. I did try to illustrate the differences during the webinar. I can post on this if needed.
-
please do post on these topics, really interests me. Have read the resources from your webinar Tom but as always leads to new trails of thought so more of your knowledge and experience on these topics would be very welcome

Just a thought:
What is Process Intelligence?
Process Intelligence is the practice of gaining insights into an organisation’s operations. It involves obtaining visibility into processes, collecting and analysing relevant data, understanding how these processes function, and using this knowledge to identify areas for improvement. This approach…Read more -

Would any members of this SIG be interested in a webinar on how to:
- Identify
- Document, and
- Improve
An NHS process? Please Reply or Like if you are interested.
-
Very much so – been having conversations around identifying our systems and processes lately and has caused quite a few blank faces
-
Hi Tom,
Personally I’d be interested in what good practice looks like in regards to identifying and designing processes, rather than how to improve them. My sense is that, if we get better at designing processes in the first place, we will have less improvement work required. Having started to learn more about the processes and techniques used…Read more
-
I disagree Jem. If the webinar is supported, and support from members looks to be good so far, I will cover, in detail, all of your points.
-
I’m not sure what you disagree with but if you are covering those points then that would be great 🙂
-
Everything – but in the nicest possible way.
-
Agree with Jem and have similar observation, and the use of language such as “engineering” can be off putting to some and there are lots of human factors and design thinking involved in good process design and a collaborative approach is essential
-
Lets get on with it then. I’ve been talking about it for a long time now. I do know how to do it!
-
-
Definitely – am always looking to learn and understand more about process improvement
-
😀 Fair enough. I stand by what I said though. In the NHS we have a huge amount of expertise about how to improve healthcare processes. The biggest challenge that I have seen in my experience is that the processes we are trying to improve are rarely designed (and often not well managed). Processes often have evolved over time, with multiple…Read more

I’d be interested in attending, thanks.
-
Yes definitely interested. Currently working on similar in NHS Ayrshire and Arran, scotland

This webinar is on the cards for January. I’ll keep you posted. During WQW I’ve been designing a web portal to help with process design and documentation. It will use process mapping not process modelling (most text books and PC applications do process modelling not process mapping!). I will demonstrate during the webinar. Hope to see you all there.
