More excellent meetings today at Brigham & Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. There was good discussion around my CHI+MED presentation at BWH, where they are doing studies that complement our own very well.
Maybe I'm seeing a very biased view, but what I am experiencing on this trip is a real breath of fresh air: people who palpably want to learn and improve matters; people who care about the design and use of medical devices. There are, of course, many individuals who care about these things in the UK, but they seem to be lone voices there. Here, "quality improvement" and "patient safety" seem to be embedded in practice in a much deeper way than anything I have experienced previously. That is exciting and invigorating.
