Ep10 Role of healthcare in improving health

Hear Don Berwick’s reflections on the last 30 years of the healthcare improvement movement, and his predictions for the future of this field.

Explore what healthcare organisations can do to improve the health of the population.  Delve into the agents that create health and learn more about the deployment of healthcare improvement around the world that focuses on health and not solely on care that is delivered in hospitals or healthcare settings.

Consider what the improvement community can do to equip themselves for the challenges ahead and how they can lead in the movement towards achieving health, not just healthcare.
