Their impact has been extraordinary. In our learning and teaching we believe that nothing stimulates the will for change more than the voice of the patient and those who care for the patient. These stories have been shown as part of our staff meetings and in IHI training programs across the US and in Scotland, England, Demark,and many other locations. Audiences have included patients and families, front-line clinical staff, executives, trustees, and regional and national leaders. Their impact is immediate. In the words of one of the leading healthcare execs in the US “I see the numbers all the time but in the story of ‘Ginny’ I see past the numbers to the suffering for everyone involved.” In a recent training program with executive leadership teams, after seeing the video the leaders made us promise they would get their own copies of the DVD (thanks Deb). When people hear the grassroots effots (and the low cost!) of the production, they are in awe.

Today I’m a proud publicist of these videos; HCFA is an active partner in IHI’s work. I’m also overdue in sending the gratitude of IHI and all who use the stories for this gift that keeps on giving. Thanks Ginny, Linda, Lisa, and HCFA. We are also thrilled to hear that there are more in the que.

I just finished reading “Critical Condition”. All of the stories are true. People are dying, getting infections and leave the hospital with diseases they never had before.

When you get handled by interns or “doctors in training” you especially need to be on alert. They are competent, but when they have to watch 30 patients, they will never have enough time to thoroughly take a look at you.

Read “Intern” – a book i recommend to learn about intern’s live during training.

Thanks,

These could easily be the opening information on a website intended to draw women into a deeper discussion of how we need to address whatever symptoms arise and take them seriously. How many of us have said, “Oh, I’ll wait to see if this gets worse,” and then not taken action to get medical help? There is such a need for a push for PREVENTION in our country, and I hope that these films will show up all over the web. No reason why YouTube cannot spread the word that there are consequences for not paying attention.

Thanks for your efforts, your message, and your continued caring.
