Upcoming PCPI Webinars
As part of your membership in IAHQ, you have access to a variety of free services from PCPI, including webinars. There are two coming up in which you may be interested:
Creating a ‘Just Culture’ to Drive Accountability and Improve Care
September 14, 2017, 12 pm CT
True quality improvement and patient safety requires moving from a culture of blame to understanding the impact and interplay of key components of our organizations systems – why did this happen? vs. who messed up? ‘Just Culture’ is an approach that helps us understand different levels of human accountability when errors do occur and what the appropriate response should be when somethings go wrong. Just Culture encourages the creation of an environment of free and open error reporting to understand root causes and help prevent recurrence. This helps to build a culture, which encourages coaching and honesty at all levels, in order to bring about the best possible outcomes. In this 60-minute webinar, you will hear from David A. Marx, JD, CEO of Outcome Engenuity, recognized as the father of Just Culture, and Stephen G. Jones, Medical Director for Safety, Yale New Haven Health System, where a Just Culture approach has implemented. Please Register here.
Delivering Value and Quality in Volume
October 11, 2017, 12 pm CT
As the U.S. healthcare system shifts to more value-based care, health care providers and professionals need to be prepared to make major changes in the way they structure, organize and provide care. Orthopedics, specifically joint replacement was one of the first conditions targeted by the new “bundling” approach implemented by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in 2016. In this 60-minute webinar, you will hear from Anthony M. DiGioia, MD, from the Bone and Joint Center at Magee-Women’s Hospital of UPMC, about how he and colleagues prepared for this major change and what their experience has been so far. As CMS moves to expand value-based care and bundling programs to other specialties, these lessons will be invaluable. Dr. DiGioia will also discuss his soon-to-be released book, The Patient-Centered Value System: Transforming Healthcare Through Co-Design.
