Launch of a new report: How do we define and demonstrate value from continuous improvement in the NHS? @HelenBevan
Our new report on a topic that's proved stubborn despite 3 decades of improvement strategy in health & care. It's about demonstrating & defining the value arising from quality or continuous improvement (CI) activity, particularly economic value. In the report, we summarise the

In a re-analysis of Tennessee STAR, “if the 29% of highly sensitive schools [to class size reduction] had been omitted from the experiment, 2SLS would have failed to detect any causal effect of class size on test scores.” Interesting… https://t.co/XA4oHKjsSx

WestEd reception always far, far better than the @USCRossier reception at #AERA. One, the food is appreciably better (it’s not even close). Two, I always see friends at the WestEd reception with tons of conversation vs @USCRossier could care less if I was there even as an alum.

Not so hot take: anybody that drafts #CalebWilliams will be drafting another Kyler Murray — undersized, small hands, quick enough to evade in college but not the NFL, always throwing off his back foot while going backwards because he’s not tall enough to step up in the pocket.

And only gets worse. Gate agents start boarding process. But everyone on plane says it’s not ready to be boarded because catering still doing their thing. They push everyone that started boarding off plane again. It’s almost as if this is the first day of @united operations!!!
I honestly don’t understand why towing this plane to the gate and boarding are delayed when this plane has been here for HOURS. There’s reason why people dislike @united so much…it’s dumb things like this, especially for a red-eye flight; just want to get on and go to sleep.

Hawaii business community & philanthropy keep pushing the skills gap as the problem. This analysis suggests 27.9% fewer college grads living here than college grads produced in the state. Are the powers-that-be solving the right problem? https://t.co/E83lLbRdlN

35 minutes after scheduled boarding (& counting), @United still has “on time.” 🤔🤔🤔 We aren’t even close to boarding—the plane isn’t at the gate (it’s sitting at another gate & is going to be towed over to this gate—tell me why we can’t just go to the gate where the plane is).

If true, wow.
Reportedly audio from Snake Island in Black Sea: -This is a Russian military ship. I suggest you lay down your weapons and surrender to avoid bloodshed and unnecessary victims. Otherwise we will open fire on you. -Russian military ship, go fuck yourself. They were all killed

For too many, we lack perspicaciousness to recognize quickly enough when honesty that includes critique not actually part of the #culture, when only toxic positivity & sycophantic behavior are acceptable despite declarations honesty is wanted and nobody’s feelings will get hurt.

Reminder how to create improvements; to scale. “The option is to start small, as small as possible. Small enough to work, big enough to put you on the hook. Build something that works. And then, the challenging task begins: Get someone else to do it too.” https://t.co/L6Yi8DqWrk
