The Health outcome is directly proportionate to multiple of Utilization & Quality so if your quality is 0, the health outcome is also 0 automatically.

Meaningful access to healthcare services requires a commitment to quality to ensure that services are both reachable and effective. Providing access without ensuring quality is ineffective, wasteful, and unethical, as it fails to produce meaningful health outcomes. Poor quality care causes 5 million deaths annually in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), while 3.6 million deaths are due to insufficient access.

Organisations are not "fungible". “Fungibility” is an assumption that if you redesign an organisation & replace one set of people with a different set, you will still get equivalent outputs. This mistaken belief underlies many organisational restructures: that you can redistribute roles, reporting lines & teams without meaningful loss. I've been reading "Communities Are Not Fungible", a recent essay by @JoanWesten7568. She examines 1960s urban renewal, when planners believed demolishing old neighbourhoods & rehousing residents would allow communities to reform. They didn't. The residents moved. The community did not. A community is not a set of people: it is a historically produced web of relationships between them. Destroy the web, & you have strangers in a building. The parallel to organisational life is uncomfortable. When we restructure, we may preserve many of the people but destroy the relational infrastructure that made them effective. The informal trust that lets someone ask for help. The shared knowledge of who to call when a process stalls. The accumulated understanding of each other's judgment. These live in relationships, not individuals. Redrawing an org chart doesn't transfer them. Research backs this up. Tacit knowledge - the "knowing how" driving real-world performance - depends on trust to flow. Break those relationships & you block the transfer. Studies show informal networks persist along old lines long after formal structures change, creating tension between old loyalties & new mandates. Social capital is the value created by connectedness. It can be destroyed in restructuring & take years to rebuild — a cost that almost never appears in a business case. What leaders can do to protect collective value: 1. Audit informal networks before redesigning formal structures. Use, eg., System Network Analysis or Relational Coordination. Breaking key network nodes causes capability losses no productivity model captures. 2. Treat relational capital as a real cost. Business cases for restructuring rarely account for social capital destruction. Making it visible leads to better decisions & stronger cases for change. 3. Design around high-value relationships. Identify relationships carrying the most trust & history & actively design the new structure to protect them while enabling necessary change. 4. Invest deliberately in building new relationships. Create conditions for them to form through shared work, peer learning & social connection. 5. Give explicit attention to belonging & psychological safety for everyone (not just those who lose or change roles): This creates conditions for the discretionary effort that makes new structures succeed. 6. Slow down at the point of irreversibility. Ask not only "what do we gain?" but "what do we lose - & can we recover it?" The value of an organisation is not the sum of its people's individual capabilities. It is the web of relationships between them. That web is not fungible.

World Health Day 7 April 2026 Together for Health. Stand with Science

🎯 This Viewpoint argues that recognising specific association between the conduct of clinical practice and the quality of scientific evidence is a critical step to effectively improving healthcare quality. A new framework maps clinical scenarios across 2 key dimensions: evidence strength (weak→strong) & practice variation (low→high) with each quadrant requiring a different improvement strategy The message: match your improvement strategy to the specific evidence-practice relationship you're facing.

He emphasised the importance of NABH Digital Health Standards as a foundational framework for enabling safe, reliable, and trustworthy digital systems—critical for the responsible adoption of tech & AI in healthcare. NABH continues to focus on three key pillars: 1. Data Quality – Accurate, standardised data 2. System Reliability & Validation – Consistent, validated system performance 3. Patient Safety & Accountability – Patient-centric care with clear accountability As healthcare advances digitally, NABH is strengthening quality frameworks through its standards—not only for healthcare organisations, but also for the digital systems that support them. Building trust through robust standards, certification, and continuous monitoring remains essential for scaling AI in India. #DigitalHealthStandards #AIinHealthcare #HealthTech #PatientSafety #QualityCare #AIBharatExpo #NABH @jaxayshah l @rizwankoita l @ct_kannan @QualityCouncil

Does Confidence = Competence in Medicine? 🤔 We often assume a clinician’s certainty reflects diagnostic accuracy. It doesn’t. A systematic review of 77 studies shows that confidence and accuracy are driven by different factors and miscalibration directly affects patient care. 🔴 Overconfidence → missed diagnoses, ignored cues, resistance to correction 🔵 Underconfidence → unnecessary tests, delayed treatment, reluctance to escalate Diagnostic confidence is frequently misaligned with true accuracy, shaping decisions around testing, prescribing, and referrals. 🧠 What doesn’t predict accuracy: - Time spent deciding - Volume of information considered - Clinician mood or personality ✅ What does help: - Strong medical knowledge - High-quality information gathering - Feedback on diagnostic outcomes The review proposes a 3-level model to support better calibration through education, cognitive tools, and targeted system-level interventions.

@HelenBevan @SessionLab This si something people should consider while conducting chain of trainings or workshops without proper handholding mechanisms. Thanks for sharing Helen.

Most organisations are investing significantly in workshop and change facilitation and have very little idea whether it's working. That’s the uncomfortable truth at the heart of the recently published “State of Facilitation 2026” report from @SessionLab. At a time when every hour spent away from operational demands must earn its place, we have to pay serious attention to the impact of facilitated change sessions. Here is the core tension: facilitation is widely described as powerful and transformative, yet the practices needed to prove that (upfront goal-setting, structured follow-up, rigorous evaluation etc) are not routine. Only 1 in 3 facilitators agree measurable performance indicators with the people who commission their change sessions upfront. Without outcomes defined at this stage, impact assessment becomes retrospective and unreliable. The report distinguishes three types of "impact" that are routinely conflated: (1) facilitator performance and in-room engagement; (2) participant experience and perceived value; and (3) actual organisational outcomes (sustained behaviour change and measurable results). Facilitation practitioners often “focus mainly on satisfaction,” even though “there is no correlation between satisfaction and application" (Alliger & Janak, 1989). As leaders, we often accept (1) & (2) as evidence of success. We need to invest significantly in (3). 43.5% of respondents identify lack of follow-up as the main barrier to impact. Sessions are evaluated on what happens in the room, but impact depends on what happens afterwards. As one contributor notes: "After the session, participants go back to a work environment and systems which weren't designed to support the changes explored." Leaders across every sector can recognise that pattern. 51.4% of facilitators rely primarily on word of mouth to communicate their impact, and only 4.5% contribute to research or published writing on outcomes. The impact is often real, but it doesn't travel. Where evidence shapes strategy and investment, this invisibility has consequences. Three things leaders can do differently: 1) Treat facilitation as a strategic capability, not a tactical event: Bring facilitators in early, define the outcomes you care about, and make impact expectations explicit at the outset. 2) Invest in the before and after: Commit to proper scoping, co-design, and systematic follow-up — not just satisfaction surveys at the end of the session. 3) Make the invisible visible: Ask for impact stories, behavioural indicators and links to organisational outcomes. Sponsor the translation of facilitation results into the language of strategy, risk and value. Facilitation as a one-off event changes little. Facilitation as a sustained, evidence-informed capability transforms performance.
