Résumé

The French hospital system crises are constantly forcing the heads of departments to adapt and find solutions for maintaining optimal patient care in a context of staff shortage. Facing these challenges, we had the desire to create a community of department heads capable of helping each other, sharing their experiences, relying on collective intelligence and, ultimately, contributing to rebuilding their hospitals from the bottom up. In this respect, we arranged a two-day seminar, which brought together fourteen heads of hematology departments who share the same desire to challenge their organizations with a collaborative approach and make them evolve. The seminar was animated by an external speaker and included many fruitful sessions, both formal and informal. Following this seminar, participants are now interested in sharing this experience with other department heads throughout the organization of "collaborative seminars of heads of department." Such seminars would serve to create a real community of department heads capable of supporting each other to improve our organizations and to generate new ideas to participate in the reconstruction of our health system from the bottom. This approach is in line with the current strategy of public services to restore a prominent role to hospital departments. We hope that our initiative will also inspire heads of departments in other specialties.
