Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a focus on what we do right rather than what is wrong. It is a generative process that identifies people, their organization, and the patient care they deliver through recognition of positive attributes. AI helps people recognize their capabilities and peak experiences, opening new opportunities to dream and discover. This presentation will look at the positive processes that are currently in place within the specialty field of gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy with a focus on the positive contributions made by GI nurses and associated across the nation.
