  2    The  role of patient narratives in healthcare innovation: supporting translation and meaning making     by Anne  Reff Pedersen    Format: ArticlePublication year: 2016 | Peer-reviewed Journal: 

• Journal of Health Organization and Management v30 n2 (20160411): 244-257

– The purpose of this paper is to investigate the process and impact of patient involvement in locally defined improvement projects in two hospital clinics. The paper particularly aims to examine how patient narratives, in the form of diaries and radio montage,  help to create new insights into patient experience for healthcare professionals, and support professionals’ enrolment and mobilisation in innovation projects. – Two case studies were undertaken. These drew upon qualitative interviews with staff and participant  observation during innovation workshops. Patient diaries and a recorded montage of patient voices were also collected. – The findings illuminate translation processes in healthcare innovation and the emergence of meaning making process for staff through the  active use of patient narratives. The paper highlights the critical role of meaning making as an enabler of patient-centred change processes in healthcare via: local clinic mangers defining problems and ideas; collecting and sharing patient narratives in innovation  workshops; and healthcare professionals’ interpretation of patient narratives supporting new insights into patient experience. – This study demonstrates how healthcare professionals’ meaning making can be supported by articulating, constructing, listening  and interpreting patient narratives. The two cases demonstrate how patient narratives serve as reflective devices for healthcare professionals. – This study presents a novel demonstration of the importance of patient narratives for translating healthcare innovation  in a clinical practice setting.

  3     Building  an Inclusive Climate for Intercultural Dialogue: A Participant-Generated Framework     by Benjamin  J Broome, Ian  Derk, Robert  J Razzante, Elena  Steiner, Jameien  Taylor, Aaron  Zamora    Format: ArticlePublication year: 2019 | Peer-reviewed Journal: 

• Negotiation and Conflict Management Research v12 n3 (August 2019): 234-255

This study investigates the question of how to build an inclusive environment for intercultural dialogue. Using the university campus as a context for our research, we conducted a facilitated idea generation workshop in which participants identified a set of  dialogic competencies, followed by individual interviews in which we explored participants’ perceptions of the relationships among these competencies. Interviews were conducted utilizing a software-assisted, idea-structuring methodology referred to as Interpretive  Structural Modeling (ISM). Based on our results, we constructed a framework that depicts the overall flow of influence among the set of dialogic competencies identified by the participants. While findings confirm the importance placed in current literature  on factors such as listening and empathy, they provide a more sophisticated and nuanced perspective on how to accomplish one of the oft-stated goals of intercultural dialogue, which is to help participants examine their unconscious biases, prejudices, and  privileges.

In this assignment, you will identify soundness, bias, and reliability in statements.

Step 1: Consider the scenario:

You are a speechwriter for the mayor of Oakland. This is an election year and already the mayor’s opposition is out in force. Henry Levine, the leading GOP candidate, recently aired an advertisement on local television blasting the mayor for his handling of the city’s recent demonstrations, most of which are aimed at overturning the current financial structure of Oakland:

We know that Mayor Brooks, a graduate of Johns Hopkins Business School, is an intelligent man. He graduated first in his class and received the 1997 Young Economists’ Essay Award, becoming the youngest recipient in history to do so. Why then do we, the upstanding residents of Oakland, find our streets littered with young and disgruntled vagrants calling for anarchy as a solution to the status quo? We need look no further than the house of cards built by our current mayor. Oaklanders deserve better than what this mayor can offer. They deserve what I, Henry Levine, can offer each and every Oaklander next year.

Step 2: Assess the candidate’s speech.

Before you can begin writing the mayor’s rebuttal, you must first analyze the qualities present in Henry Levine’s initial argument. In a two-page (minimum) letter to Mayor Brooks, address the following as it pertains to Levine’s speech:

• When does Henry Levine’s speech consist of primarily cognitive content? When is it primarily emotive?
• What are the primary benefits of using primarily cognitive content within this political context? What are the benefits of emotive content?
• Identify any occurrence of bias within Levine’s speech. How can bias influence reliability?
• Evaluate the soundness of Henry Levine’s message. Do you believe his ideas are being clearly conveyed? Why or why not?

Scenarios:

A researcher wants to know why individuals in Community A have a higher rate of a rare form of cancer when compared to those living in Community B. To find out the reasons for the differences in cancer rates in these two communities, the investigator surveyed residents about their lifestyle, noted the types of businesses that were present in the community and searched medical records. The researcher found that the headquarters for the Toxico Chemical Plant is located in Community A, there is a higher rate of cigarette smoking in this community and residents tended to delay or skip going to the doctor for an annual checkup. In Community B, the largest employer was a department store and on average, residents did not smoke as much as residents from Community A. However, like individuals from Community A, Community B residents tended to delay or skip their annual checkups with their doctor.

Video Transcript:

KARI (on phone): This is Kari the nurse from the Emergency Department. I’m calling to give you a transfer report on Ms. Janet Lieberman. Janet is a 36-year-old woman who came because she felt weak and dizzy. She has a history of Crohn’s disease with intermittent gastritis and six months ago she had surgery and an ileostomy. Traces of serosanguineous effluent were present in her ostomy bag upon arrival. Her Blood type is A-. She is typed and cross-matched for two units of packed RBCs, so please administer as soon as they are available. She started on Infliximab IV six months ago and the last dose was given seven weeks ago. Her vital signs were temperature 98.8, pulse 114, respiration 22, blood pressure 100/60, and oxygen saturation 95%. Her hemoglobin is seven milligrams per deciliter and her hematocrit is 21%. She has an IV of 0.9% sodium chloride 1000- milliliters infusing at 150-milliliters per hour, and has 700-milliliters remaining in the bag. We started an IV while she was in ED. Her skin has been pale, warm, and dry to the touch. She voided 500-milliliters at 1500 in the ED. A hemoccult of her stool was sent to the lab. Esther: Were the coagulation tests within normal range? KARI: Yes, her pro time is 12.2, her PT is 21 seconds, and her INR is 0.7. Esther: Okay, thanks for the report. KARI: You’re welcome. I’ll bring her up to your unit in a few minutes. Esther: Thanks. KARI: Hi Esther, this is Janet Lieberman. Esther: Hi Ms. Lieberman, my name’s Esther. I’ll be taking care of you this evening. KARI: I gave you a transfer report a couple minutes ago. Ms. Lieberman needs the two units of packed RBCs as soon as possible. Esther: Okay. Ms. Lieberman, I need to take a quick look at your ostomy bag. MS. LIEBERMAN: Sure, okay. Esther: Thank you. Do you have any family here? MS. LIEBERMAN: No, I came alone to the emergency room today, but I have a sister who’s on her way to the hospital. KARI: Do you have any questions before I leave? Esther: No, thanks for the report. I can take it from here. KARI: I am going back to the Emergency Department now. Esther’s going to be taking care of you. I hope you feel better soon. MS. LIEBERMAN: Thanks so much for taking such good care of me. Esther: Ms. Lieberman, I need to ask you some questions. MS. LIEBERMAN: Okay, what else do you need to know? Esther: I need to review your abdominal status. Are you having abdominal pain? MS. LIEBERMAN: Oh yes, it’s very sore and crampy. Esther: On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being no pain, and 10 being unbearable, how do you rate your pain now? MS. LIEBERMAN: I would say a 6. Esther: When did the pain begin? MS. LIEBERMAN: Uh, after I got up this morning. Esther: Can I ask you where the pain is? MS. LIEBERMAN: Yes, it’s here in the top of my stomach. Esther: Okay, Have you noticed anything that brings on the pain or makes it worse? MS. LIEBERMAN: I’m pretty sure stress makes it worse. Esther: Okay. MS. LIEBERMAN: When I get stressed I don’t eat healthy foods and then I get headaches and take Ibuprofen. Esther: Okay, when you’re feeling a little bit better I’d like to review some ways to manage your stress. For now, I need to take a listen to your bowel sounds. MS. LIEBERMAN: Sure, Okay
