@AmericanAir Would be nice if @AmericanAir didn’t damage the bags they gate check and refuse any responsibility for destroying a brand-new piece of @MonosTravel luggage!

@projsolve It's kind of like missing the forest for the trees, in a sense. We get wound up with our day-to-day activities. And for whatever reason -- fatigue, indifference, frustration -- sometimes miss opportunities to improve systems. #solvechat

[Michael Danielewicz @mikedanmd]

@projsolve Mutual respect -- of our differences in workflow, perspective, and backgrounds. We have much to learn from each other, and this project could help us all use our talents in a meaningful way. #solvechat

[Michael Danielewicz @mikedanmd]

@projsolve Solutions can be evaluated via any number of ways, as other participants have suggested: outcomes, processes, etc. This is a moving target and should happen repeatedly through the process of iterative change. #solvechat

[Michael Danielewicz @mikedanmd]

@projsolve If we base the incremental changes off data-driven suggestions, this is absolutely possible. And necessary, in order to convince all parties involved that changes are justifiable and avoid "innovation fatigue." #solvechat

[Michael Danielewicz @mikedanmd]

@projsolve I'm a big believer in keeping improvement science...science-based. Utilizing hard data can make the changes we test more impactful! #solvechat

[Michael Danielewicz @mikedanmd]

@RJmdphilly @projsolve Makes me about how many times I've heard the term 'piloting' used in QI to refer to something that's probably at an earlier stage...

[Michael Danielewicz @mikedanmd]

@projsolve The tennis court was a great workflow demonstration -- easy to observe the flaws of their system and modify then without undue burden on the organizers! #solveCHAT

[Michael Danielewicz @mikedanmd]

@projsolve Mike here. JFMA intern! #solvechat

[Michael Danielewicz @mikedanmd]

@projsolve Keeping the floor open to all participants at all levels. It's this spirit of 'improv' -- participation at all levels, that brings innovation. Sometimes people might think a task "isn't in the job description" -- which limits us! #solvechat

[Michael Danielewicz @mikedanmd]

@projsolve We do it on a daily basis, really -- on rounds. The medical student presents, the intern adds details, and the resident/fellow/attending build off that. Iterative thinking! Can be incorporated into team huddles, etc.

[Michael Danielewicz @mikedanmd]

@projsolve Bureaucracy can easily get in the way of patient care, as evidenced by the writer's experiences with some of those removed from his situation. Those of us in medicine see a bit of this every day. @solvechat
