Event

Due to changes in the health care landscape, there is intense pressure to improve the quality of care delivered. The pressure is especially intense in critical care, a venue associated with significant mortality, morbidity, and disproportionate cost. At the same time, despite an ever increasing number of guidelines and an emerging evidence base, knowledge translation is slow and incomplete. Didactic content will include a combination of high level quality overview sessions and a pragmatic set of talks intended for immediate application during the three skills building sessions. Participants will select one of three quality improvement topics for the skills building breakout sessions and work through a simulated quality improvement case study under the guidance of facilitators with deep expertise in the respective topics.
