What we’ll be talking about • What is Change Day? • Ambassadors • Getting Started • Leadership Support • Taking Action • Next Steps & Staying in Touch
What’s it all about? What step, big or small, could you take to collectively improve compassionate quality care for Ontarians? More than just a day!! Change Day is a growing global social movement that empowers individuals and teams to take collective action to improve the health system. Anyone working within health care is invited to commit to making a pledge and join the campaign. We believe that small actions can amount to big impact.
I pledge to… • Ask every patient I see on the day of discharge whether we could have done anything better. • - Irfan, St. Michael’s Hospital, Toronto Acute Care • Stay on top of my annual health and dental check-ups. • - Patricia, London, Member of the public • Embrace change. • - Ashley, Scarborough and Rouge Hospital, Toronto Acute Care • Connect with one person every day to explore how leaders can enable compassionate quality care! • - Jocelyn, Associated Medical Services, Toronto • Use patience and kindness when I’m explaining my less than positive experiences with the healthcare system (specifically involving individuals with m.h. challenges). I will use a positive approach keeping education in mind at all times. • - Diana, Dryden Patient, Family or Caregiver Advisor

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” - African Proverb
Connect with Emotions If you want people to join you in your change attempts, you will need to engage them. Here are some guidelines: 1. Tell a story. 2. Make it personal. 3. Be authentic. 4. Create a sense of ‘us’ (and be clear who ‘us’ is). 5. Build in a call for urgent action.
Spreading the Message • Tap into the downloadable resources and ambassador toolkit available at changedayontario.ca • Getting Started Toolkit, Video(s), • Posters, pledge cards, event planning • We want to hear from you about what else you need! • Start with those you know will be eager to join • Encourage them to share the message with others • Capitalize on “how things work around here” • i.e. competition versus cooperation, communication channels • Communicate, communicate, communicate!
Organizing • Identify your organizational contact • Build a team – even just one ally. They can help to energize and sustain you! • Listen to (but don’t get drowned by) the sceptics and naysayers. They generally have something to add! • Search out key organizational opinion leaders (besides you that is)
You get the best effort from others not by lighting a fire beneath them, but by building a fire within. – Bob Nelson
Leadership Support Identify key individualsin your network or organization who can play: • A direct role • A strategic role • An indirect role Identify how different individuals can supportyour efforts: • Permissioning • Advocating • Setting goals and targets • Guidance • Spreading the message
Taking Action • Begin before you are ready! • Make a pledge (be a role model) • This is about small actions (which can lead to big change), so it’s okay to keep them small • Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good…
