2 Once upon a time Rome, 28th November 2006 Birthday of the Italian Association of Medical Managers (SIMM) An enthusiastic group of forty doctors involved and interested in management for years, representing the different regional needs of the country, decided to make quality improvement in health care management an effective reality in the Italian context too.

4 Why healthcare systems need medical managers Doctor managers have distinct advantages Jenny Simpson, Richard Smith BMJ 1997; 314:1636 (7 June)

5 Sir Luke Fildes: The doctor, 1861

6 The Clinician was the driving force in the 20th Century, the patient will be the driving force in the 21st century Sir M. Gray, 2009

7 DIFFERENT ACTORS AND PERSPECTIVES Politicians? + $$ Risultati Soddisfazione cittadini RE-ELECTION Professionals ASAP GOOD COMFORTABLE CONSISTANT KEEP QUITE!!! + HUMAN RESOURCES + FINANCIAL AND TANGIBLE RESOURCES Medical Boards S.O.S.! Chief Executives SAVE! Elections Citizens, Patients (Costa J in Sunol R, 1990)

8 The most obvious cause of doctors' unhappiness is that they feel overworked and undersupported. They hear politicians make extravagant promises but then must explain to patients why the health service cannot deliver what is promised. Why doctors are so unhappy? Doctors and patients: redrafting a bogus contract Smith R BMJ 1997; 314:1636 (7 June)

9 Doctors in trench?

10 Rely on citizens Develop systems, not institutions Develop the culture Love the technology Manage knowledge as though it were money Pencheon et al, 2006

11 The grass is always greener? It s well known than Italians tend to be a bit xenophile they always look at foreign experiences and practices Italians are even often ready to manage without any hesitation or distintion receipts and solutions for our problems edited by British gourmet I must confess that I m a bit snob and my personal belief was that (...) the grass is not always greener (...). Right then, the more I read Management for Doctors [Simpson J, Smith R, 1995] the more I realized (a bit disappointed) that English healthcare have a lot to teach Cesare Fassari Introduction to Simpson J, Smith R (1998)

13 It has been a long, long journey From: Until systems of management and clinical process are totally aligned, the NHS will never be managed effectively To: Sir Roy Griffiths, October 1983 Every doctor licensed to practice in the UK will, by law, relate (account) to a responsible officer, who will review their performance and make a recommendation to the GMC as to their fitness to practice Draft Guidance for Responsible Officers, January 2010

18 On the yellow-brick road** (forthcoming challenges) Sustaining Change The management of culture is one of the responsibilities of the leader. Sir M. Gray, 2009 There is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them." Niccolò Machiavelli

25 Feedback il clima assolutamente informale che ci ha consentito di sentirci più vicini ai colleghi con cui condividiamo problemi quotidiani della stessa natura sono rimasto colpito dall ottima alternanza di concetti teorici ed esercitazioni pratiche, dall utilizzo di metafore, filmati e testimonianze che spesso hanno stimolato momenti di discussione davvero interessanti penso sia un valido momento per imparare a lavorare in team, prendere coscienza della capacità di mettere in pratica quanto appreso nel tempo ed uno stimolo a proporre idee nuove per la risoluzione del problema 26
