An improvement charter is an important first step when initiating an improvement project. More than just a template, this tool facilitates discussions with project teams and communicates a shared vision. Sharing an example on Sustainability in QI from our Clinician Fellow, Ilona Hale, we will review how using an improvement charter incorporates critical elements for project success.

Automated indicators, reports or dashboards are a great resource for monitoring our performance, but often lack the specificity, timeliness or widespread access to support change at the local level. And they rarely provide the meaningful feedback loop to those delivering care if their efforts to improve are working. Join this webinar to learn ways of using simple data collection methods – pen and paper by the team at a local level – to get meaningful insight about our improvement efforts. This small-scale measurement, when defined, collected and shared by the care team, can ensure an outsized impact on improvement efforts through team engagement.

In a world that offers access to a multitude of digital and paper communication methods, identifying when, how and how much information to share within a care team to optimize patient safety can be challenging.

Lessons from implementing a structured communication matrix will be shared by a physician working in long-term care. This session will then highlight how a similar tool can be integrated into different care settings.
