A Heartfelt Tribute to Clay Christensen

In the February 2020 newsletter published by the Nursing Institute for Healthcare Design (NIHD), I contributed an article to honor and celebrate Clay Christensen, whom I refer to as a "disruptive innovator extraordinaire."  The article can also be accessed online through the NIHD website.  See link below.

REGISTER for the NIHD May webinar!
When: May 21, 2020 @ 12pm EST
Topic: The Public Library – Healthcare Design Opportunities 
SpeakerSusan Ziel, BSN, MPH, JD, NIHD Fellow, Consultant @ Integrity Health Strategies and Affiliate Faculty / Teaching Specialist @ University of Minnesota
Susan represents and advises healthcare clients, in the capacity of coach and consultant, as they assemble innovative and optimal healing environments -- whether built or virtual -- that not only comply with applicable requirements but which are also deliver on the Triple Aim's promise to provide better health care earlier and for less, across an entire targeted population.  Susan served on the NIHD Board of Directors as Secretary for four years (2016-2019).  Her 45+ years of experience in health care, as a registered nurse, healthcare administrator, consultant, health law attorney, plus completion of the Healthcare Design and Innovation Certificate at the University of Minnesota, enables Susan to maximize her "real world" perspectives in working with clients and colleagues.  
Representative clients: hospitals, medical care organizations (group practices, clinics, FQHC, RHC, etc.), senior communities (assisted living, memory care, SNF), home health and hospice, online health care providers. 

Description: Advanced by the requirements from the Accountable Care Act (ACA), Joe Flowers reported years ago that the Triple Aim, adopted by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), seeks to delivery health care better and for less by “doing it earlier across the whole population.” As the health care system continues to be disrupted to meet the needs of vulnerable individuals who are often ignored, the public library remains an essential portal in promoting the achievement of health and health literacy for all persons through its community-based and web-based initiatives.

This webinar will overview five different healthcare design opportunities involving the public library. Every opportunity requires the transformation of stakeholders, built and virtual spaces, staff, and/or processes using evidence-based design principles and human-centered design strategies. Each opportunity also has its own challenges, all of which will be addressed by the speaker with “real world” solutions that address applicable laws, regulations and other industry requirements.

You won’t want to miss this webinar and learn more about the public library and how its stakeholders, spaces, staff and processes can be transformed to promote empowerment and independence and to honor humanity at a time when the world’s citizens are increasingly vulnerable to healthcare challenges.
