Webinar #115 Dr Perry Jansen - Systems thinking for mission hospitals

Recorded on 11 August 2022 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar and Q&A with Dr Perry Jansen Mission Hospitals operate in some of the most challenging environments in the world.  Sustaining health services in a way that maintains quality while honoring God’s call to serve the poor can seem unattainable. Prior ICMDA webinars have covered tools and approaches for managing mission hospitals.  In this session, we will take the “30,000-foot view” of the complex and dynamic environments we operate in and how we can apply the science of “Systems Thinking” to improve strategies and impact.
