Many universal lessons to be learned from healthcare failures
Too often we miss out on promising innovations in healthcare because we don't learn enough from failures. That is what Paul Iske and Bas Ruyssenaars say, initiators of the Institute of Brilliant Failures. To help discover and give attention to these promising innovations, the Institute organizes the Brilliant Failures in Healthcare award. The Institute calls on care administrators, healthcare professionals and patients to report failures for this award. They will open a special website for this from today www.briljantemislukkingen.nl/zorg. It is the fourth time that such an award has been presented. Bas Ruyssenaars: “With this award we hope to contribute to creating a better innovation climate in healthcare.”. By highlighting striking cases, we want to inspire people and help them come to terms with failures, and especially to do something with this experience. Although every experience in its entirety is unique, Are there often similarities?. Paul iske: “This is how we arrived at a number of patterns for failure, which we have described through archetypes often recognized in practice.”
Day of the Brilliant Failure
7 December 2017 has been chosen as the Day of the Brilliant Failure in Healthcare. On this day, the jury will announce the winners of the Failures in the Care award. The jury consists of Paul Iske (chair), Edwin Bas (GfK), Cathy van Beek, (Radboud UMC), Bas Bloem (Parkinson Center Nijmegen), Gelle Klein Ikkink (VWS Ministry), Henk Nies (Vilans), Michael Rutgers (Longfonds), Henk Smid (SunMW), Mathieu Weggeman (Eindhoven University of Technology).

Research
On 7 december 2017 the Institute for Brilliant Failures, in collaboration with research agency GfK, presents its monitor research into the attitude of professionals towards dealing with failures. On the basis of a qualitative questionnaire, they ask healthcare professionals to characterize their working environment and to determine whether there is room for improvisational work., whether lessons are learned from this and whether this actually leads to new situations.
