Systems Thinking in Healthcare: From Reactive to Generative Leadership

Описание: Why does the U.S. spend the most on healthcare but rank dead last in outcomes among wealthy nations?

In this video, we dismantle the "Healthcare Maze" to reveal why traditional fixes and isolated policies continue to fail. We move beyond the blame game to explore Systems Thinking—a revolutionary framework championed by leaders like Peter Senge and Donella Meadows. You will learn how "Transformational Leadership" and Advanced Practice Nurses are shifting the industry from reactive, quick fixes to generative, long-term solutions. Whether you are a nursing student, a healthcare administrator, or a patient advocate, this breakdown explains how we can finally build a true Culture of Safety.

In This Video, You Will Learn:

📉 The Paradox: Why high spending equals poor results in the US (The Commonwealth Fund data). * 🔄 Systems Thinking vs. Linear Thinking: How to see the "whole" rather than just the broken parts.

🏥 The Patient Fall Case Study: A concrete example of Reactive vs. Responsive vs. Generative responses.

🛡️ Culture of Safety: Understanding Just Culture, Reporting Culture, and Learning Culture.

💡 The New Leader: Why the future of healthcare depends on leaders who understand system structures.
