DESCRIPTION:Alliance Manchester Business School's Health Services Researc
 h Centre present a research seminar:\n\nDr Lorelei Jones: "Health system
 s world-wide are increasingly holding boards of health care organisation
 s accountable for the quality of care that they provide. Previous empiri
 cal research has found associations between certain board practices and 
 higher quality patient care\; however little is known about how boards g
 overn for quality improvement (QI).\n\nIn this seminar I will be discuss
 ing findings from fieldwork conducted over 30 months in 15 healthcare pr
 ovider organisations in England. Our analysis explored variation in how 
 boards enacted governance of quality improvement. From our analysis\, an
 d using existing evidence of the links between board practices and quali
 ty of care\, we constructed a measure of QI governance maturity. We then
  compared organisations to identify the characteristics of those with ma
 ture QI governance.\n\nWe found that boards with higher levels of maturi
 ty in relation to governing for QI had the following characteristics: ex
 plicitly prioritizing QI\; balancing short term (external) priorities wi
 th long term (internal) investment in QI\; using data for QI\, not just 
 quality assurance\; engaging staff and patients in QI\; and encouraging 
 a culture of continuous improvement. These characteristics appeared to b
 e particularly enabled and facilitated by board-level clinical leaders."
 \n\nLight luncheon refreshment will be provided at the beginning of this
  seminar.
