OPIQ Program Documentary
Optimizing Performance to Improve Quality, UCSF
South Africa
OPIQ South Africa was a multi-year, multi-region large scale quality improvement initiative. It sought to improve engagement with HIV services specifically focussed on retention in care and medication adherence. Using interviews with staff and project footage, we put together an eight minute film that explained the project, outlined the achievements, and highlighted the impact of the project.

A whiteboard video can help to explain a complex or technical concept in a way that is relatable and accessible. With OPIQ South Africa we used a whiteboard video to explain the concept of the Pareto Principle and how it can be used in an HIV quality improvement initiative.

Theatrical Vignettes
East Africa Preterm Birth Initiative - UCSF
Kigali, Rwanda
As part of their annual symposium, we put together four theatrical vignettes that were formed in between conference presentations. Working with qualitative interview data, we crafted the scripts, identified three fantastic local actors through our network, rehearsed and produced the performances with music and sound. It was a reflective moment for participants to put away their laptops and really listen to the stories of mothers of preterm babies.

Change Idea Spotlights
Optimizing Performance to Improve Quality, UCSF
South Africa
Through a large-scale quality improvement initiative, we worked with QI champions at healthcare facilities to document their work in a one page front-and-back spotlight. The spotlight explained an effective change idea, presented data on its impact, and gave step-by-step instructions so other facilities could implement the idea in their own contexts.
PRESENT
The Midwife Monologues
PRONTO International
Women Deliver Conference
Vancouver, CA
PRONTO International trains midwives all over the world in obstetrical and neonatal skills-building. We worked with them to interview midwives on their experiences and turn those interviews into a series of monologues to be presented as part of their break-out session at the conference. We found three Vancouver-based actresses, rehearsed with them for three days, and then produced the performance as part of the session.
