Title:
In Search of the ‘Aha’ Moment in Healthcare
Talk description:
In this presentation, two of Michigan Medicine’s leaders will discuss their search for “An A-ha Moment in Healthcare.” In the first half, Dr. Sanjay Saint (the George Dock Professor of Medicine and Chief of Medicine at the VA Ann Arbor Health System) will open by discussing the concept of intersectional innovations, providing examples of how medicine has learned from other fields. Using infection prevention as a canvas, he will review such things as culture, power-distance index and cognitive psychology as tools to improve patient safety. During the second half, Dr. Vineet Chopra (Chief of the Division of Hospital Medicine at Michigan Medicine) will introduce the concept of mindfulness and showcase research conducted by their team to improve hand hygiene among healthcare workers.

Research is the heart of Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS), and we want to make sure that we support each other in developing high quality research. To that end, we created the Adderley Positive Research Incubator for sharing and encouraging POS-related research ideas that are at various stages of development.
