Advancing diversity, equity and inclusion in healthcare has become a strategic imperative for all leaders in healthcare.

Leading with Daily Management is an important and foundational component of ensuring patients receive quality, timely care, while providing frontline staff the information they need to effectively manage their work.

Developing a culture of continuous improvement is an imperative as healthcare organizations face unprecedented challenges and strive for sustainability. Join our executive leadership panel for this roundtable discussion and learn about crucial lessons from Warwick Business School's recently published independent study of the NHS-VMI partnership. The research reveals the effectiveness of applying a systems approach to learning and improvement across five NHS trusts in partnership with NHS Improvement. Our roundtable explores crucial lessons for leaders as they work to improve patient outcomes, population health, access, equity, and the overall patient experience. Topics include:
• Leadership models, behaviors and practices that were observed to be essential components of leading change in organizations
• How to enable “partnership” ways of working through practices and mechanisms that foster and maintain collaborative ways of working
• Cultural elements necessary for the successful adoption of an organization-wide improvement program
