Website Appreciative Inquiry at the University of Virginia
http://appreciativeinquiry.virginia.edu/ http://appreciativeinquiry.virginia.edu/?page_id=2 We gather positive stories-those teaching and patient care occasions when the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. From these stories we discover what matters to teachers and students, healers and patients, attendings and residents, hospital staff and management. The elements of these stories can be arranged into groups of themes, and the themes are imbued with professional values. The matrix of values, community, self-awareness, empathy, and joy works more like a kaleidoscope than a multivariate equation, and in that sense AI is revelatory and unpredictable. The process is hard to quantify but easy to feel. From discovery we move on to institutional change, but not top-down administrative mandate or bottom-up rabble rousing, rather an inside-out process that informs professional life, reframes and enriches conversation, and brings people together. We talk about the ripple effect of AI, but it does deeper than that. To use a biological metaphor: AI is freely diffusible across all departmental and divisional barriers. To achieve institutional transformation and reach AI equilibrium, AI initiatives in UME, GME, employee relations, and patient care are underway.
