CCME 2011 sharing Joan Sargeant June, 2011
Integrating quality improvement (QI) in CME and across the continuum • Source: Plenary, SCCPD retreat • Contact: Dr Brian Wong, U Toronto (internist, QI scholar) • Key points: • In US 98,000 people die /year due to medical error (i.e., an airline crash per day with 300 people) • How can we prevent errors? • QI approach of studying processes and seeking improvement, generally through learning or through system change (P, D, S, A)
1. Integrating quality improvement in CME and across the continuum • How to integrate these concepts into med ed? • For CME and PGME, e.g., turn M&M rounds into discussions of how to prevent/ improve negative outcomes • Challenge for CME – link to clinical departments (bridge gap between academia and clinical worlds) • For PG and UG: • Introduce concepts of safety, QI, error prevention • Provide practical opportunities; e.g., QI, error cases; QI committees, other? • Are safety and QI a focus of our curricula? Should they be?
2. Involving patients in med ed across the continuum • 2 opportunities: • Informal discussion with Bernard Charlin, Head Scholarship Unit, U Montreal & Cynthia Andrews, Dal • U Montreal also interested in how to better engage patients/ public in UGME and IPE • Links with Cynthia and Health Mentors Program re how to pursue this • E.g., potential for co-submitting a workshop or education innovation to CCME next year
2. Involving patients in med ed across the continuum • Source – SCCPD retreat plenary • Dr Mike Evans, Fam Med, and Health Design Lab, U of T; drmikeevans.com • How to move from educating patients to engaging patients in their health care? • Concept of clinician as “curator of education materials” for patients/ public • How to engage patients as “drivers” of med ed? • Visiting Halifax June 13, 14; would like to work with us
