Advancing the Methods of Evaluation of Quality and Safety Practice and Educa...
Improving healthcare in an organization requires individuals with the capability to design, test and implement improved processes in an organization with the capacity to support the scale and spread of improvement. If improvement capability is not widespread in the workforce then an intervention is needed to create the capability. In response to this challenge, Cincinnati Children’s designed and implemented a comprehensive Improvement Science curriculum to build capability. The program has achieved measurable improvements in both process and outcome measures of patient care and business processes. Incorporating unique design principles, this intervention served as a catalyst for quality transformation.
In this workshop we will share our perspective and provide examples with data that illustrates:
• Building support and buy-in through the design of participant selection.
• Creating an intervention to build capability that includes training but involves more than training.
• A comprehensive model based on competencies
• Expanding the four-level Kirkpatrick model evaluation with additional levels that encompass economic impact and network impact.
• Using self-assessment to evaluate learning outcomes.
