Creating dialogues that shape frameworks and inform policies
Empowering systems leaders to establish effective leadership for quality and safety in hospitals around the world In healthcare, leadership is decisive in influencing the quality of care 51 and the performance of hospitals. 52,53 In April 2022, BMJ orchestrated a symposium series that brought together hospital chief executives and presidents worldwide to discuss leadership, and how to maintain quality and safety in their hospitals. The online symposia in webinar format were curated in collaboration with the China Hospital Association, and sponsored by Johnson & Johnson China. Our BMJ team successfully stimulated effective interactions, discussions, and decision-making between healthcare professionals. Our privileged networks and global footprint meant we could bring together the most innovative and influential hospital leaders today, including Tomislav Mihaljevic, President and CEO of the Cleveland Clinic, USA and Steve Swensen, Professor, Mayo Clinic, USA.
The recent pandemic prompted many scientists— and the public—to turn to social media to share and learn about the newest findings. It naturally opened the conversation to a much bigger audience. Information about pandemic science quickly became and remains to be of mainstream interest. 54 In February 2022, BMJ supported the WHO and the NAM in a joint call to urge social media companies to incorporate the global principles of identifying credible sources of health information in their guidelines, safety policies, and enforcement to protect public health. 55 The principles state that sources should be science-based, objective, transparent, and accountable to be considered credible. The call was followed up with us convening 15 global health experts to review whether the principles and attributes identified in a paper published by the NAM: Identifying Credible Sources of Health Information in Social Media: Principles and Attributes 56 could be applied by social media companies globally. WHO and NAM urged technology companies to adopt these principles in January 2022, as part of a regular WHO ‘Technology Task Force’ meeting: a permanent group of representatives from more than 40 major technology companies, including Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, TikTok, and YouTube. 57
