Here are some questions teams have about core and extended teams, pre-visit planning/huddles, self-management goal setting workflows, and coaching roles:
Core and Extended Teams:
- How are you identifying your patient care teams (PODS) so patients know their team?
- What specific roles have you seen change on teams and how?
- How are you training staff on team-based care?
- How do you maintain team integrity with turnover/MAs covering multiple teams?
- Are managers/leaders part of your core and extended team model?
Pre-Visit Planning/Huddles:
- How do you manage prep time for huddles? Are you using E

A huddle is a brief meeting held each shift/day to enable teams to be informed, review work, make plans, and move ahead rapidly with the daily work. Conducted standing up, preferably around the data dashboard/patient board, the whole team meet for just 10 minutes to make plans for the day and ‘quick fire’ ideas to trouble shoot any potential issues.
Tips to engage stakeholders in 7 day servicesNHS England
NHS England’s Sustainable Improvement team are hosting a series of free sharing and learning webinars to support organisations implement seven day services (7DS).
The next in the series focuses on stakeholder engagement, as feedback from the service has indicated that good stakeholder engagement is a key factor in successfully implementing 7DS.
This webinar will showcase practical tried and tested approaches supported by Trust examples. There will be opportunities for peer to peer connections, learning and for participants to share their own practice.
During this session you will hear about examples from:
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust: Whole System: Engaging commissioners, clinicians and Patients for 7DS with Dr Juliane Kause, Care Group Lead Emergency Care, Lead Consultant Out of Hours Care and Seven Day Services.

Risk analysis and control
FMEA: Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is often the first step of a system reliability study. It involves reviewing as many components, assemblies, processes and subsystems as possible to identify failure modes, and their causes and effects. For each component, the failure modes and their resulting effects on the rest of the system are recorded in a specific FMEA worksheet. - more at http://www.nhsiq.nhs.uk/improvement-programmes/patient-safety/learning-and-resources.aspx

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

29. What is the problem we attempting to remedy?
• Based on comments received from our patient satisfaction
survey
• There were a significant number of patient complaints
regarding our telephone system
o Patients expressed concern over
o Phone calls not answered promptly by the nursing
staff/provider
o Patients often left multiple messages
• Q: For the team – is it possible that the telephone problems
may not be system itself, but rather our internal processes?
Family Medicine Residency Program at Cheyenne 820 East 17th Street Cheyenne WY
30. Purpose for Patient Phone Calls to Our Practice?
• Data collection occurred over a two week period
to identify the reason(s) for incoming phone calls
(i.e. scheduling, RX refill) and the frequency of
the calls.
• All staff who receive in-coming calls participated
in the phone call tracking process.
• Phone call tracking occurred from 02/06/17-
02/24/17
Family Medicine Residency Program at Cheyenne 820 East 17th Street Cheyenne WY
32. What did the data tell us?
• Our clinic experiences a highly daily call
volume
• We spend a great deal of day answering
and responding to the phone.
• RX and scheduling accounted for about
8% of our total phone calls.
Family Medicine Residency Program at Cheyenne 820 East 17th Street Cheyenne WY
33. PDSA #1
Specific AIM: To decrease the number of phone
calls related to prescription refills.
• Our goal is to identify individual providers who
are prescribing patients sufficient medication
and refills until their next follow up visit.

Editor's Notes
Our agenda after more introductions…
We will be referring to this ramp throughout the collaborative as a road map, or the structure to a proven approach to change.
As shown by the skills assessments, there is opportunity to close some gaps by building improvement science into the sessions over time. What you need, when you need it – to be successful.
For example -
Outcomes have been attributed to higher levels of team based care competencies
Our agenda after more introductions…
YOU HAVE THE Skills and Core Team to run some tests of change within your control.
