About the Presenters:

corinnevisscher

Corinne Visscher is the principal consultant at Bridge Barn Consulting.

In my 21 years of working as a professional in the B.C. health care system, I have had opportunities to work in areas of clinical nursing care, administration, education and process improvement.  I have worked in urban, rural and remote settings in clinics, hospitals and classrooms.  Most recently, at the invitation of First Nations communities, I work to support health centers in the way of community health planning, evaluation, strategic planning, policy and procedure development and accreditation preparation. What I have learned over these years and across all environments is that a continuous improvement way of thinking has the potential to be a strong force for bringing about positive change.  There is no cookie cutter approach for how organizations incorporate a continuous improvement way of thinking into their daily operations – and that is the exciting part!  Supporting organizations in their learning process of reflection, trying new things, learning and growing is what brings meaning to the work that I do.

By moving forward together we can all get better every day!!!
