 I see this global crisis as an opportunity for quality improvement that can be sustainable and provide better care for our patients not only during, but also beyond the pandemic. ​

It was also inspiring to see how amidst this global pandemic, significant improvements in patient care have been achieved through what Dr. Jonathan Gleason referred to as opportunistic transformations. ​

In [Dr. Don Berwick's] presentation, he discussed how polarization both politically and in healthcare and can foster negative health outcomes. I was encouraged to critically consider how silos can impede healthcare quality and the role of shared communication to improve this division.

From an engineering perspective, I usually get instructions on what I need to build or code without the context of who will use the tool or how it will be used. As my experience with quality improvement research has been purely technical, I found this experience very valuable and eye-opening. ​

The conference was filled with inspirational talks from global leaders in healthcare. I was happy to hear about driver diagrams and PDSA cycles, as these are concepts that were also covered during the IHI Basic Certificate in Quality and Safety. ​​

Listening to personal stories about the challenges Indigenous people face trying to access basic health care needs is eye-opening. The only way we can learn and improve is through exposure to these stories and understanding the damage it has caused and continues to cause. ​

“You cannot give what you don’t have.” High quality compassionate care can only be provided if care providers are well themselves.

I not only attended the Quality Forum as an observer, but also as a presenter. I got to present a poster outlining the work I did as part of the BCPSQC summer internship program. ​

I can go on about how incredible each session and how amazing it was to see 1000 other attendees exploding the chat box, but I’ll leave you with my favourite quote from Helen Bevan’s workshop which I hope to take into my future practice: “The secret of success is not to foresee the future. It is to build a system that is able to prosper in any of the unforeseeable futures”.

​These two days have taught me more than I could have predicted and time flew by as I tried to soak in as much as I could. I would like to thank the UBC IHI Open School Chapter as well as the BCPSQC for allowing me to expand my understanding of what quality improvement is all about through attending Quality Forum 2021.

The 2021 Quality Forum was an enriching experience which complements my first-year medical training. It allowed me to think critically about my education and reflect on ways in which the health care sector can be improved.
