Alrededor de 400 speakers en más de 80 rutas de conocimiento - parte del IX Foro Latinoamericano de Calidad y Seguridad en Salud, que seguimos haciendo en parcería IHI junto con el Hospital Albert Einstein para impulsar el tema en la región con un espíritu “todos enseñan, todos aprenden”, de colaboración hacia la excelencia. Gracias a todos los participantes y speakers por la dedicación a la mejora continua de sus sistemas. A Sidney Klajner , Miguel Cendoroglo Neto , Paula Tuma y toda la familia Einstein por seguir teniendo esta oportunidad de construir juntos, por el cariño y la amistad, por su capacidad de ejecución. Al equipo entero del IHI y en especial al equipo Latinoamérica incluyendo a los muy queridos Jafet Arrieta , Paulo Borem, M.D. y todos por su inclinación a servir con amor y por su liderazgo empatico. Sin duda el Centro de Ensino e pesquisa Albert Einstein fue un escenario mágico para las cientos de miles de conversaciones entre los participantes, para fomentar intercambio y colaboración.

Prioritizing safety cannot come and go depending on current circumstances. Far too often, we see health care systems that prioritize profit and production over the safety and well-being of those we serve and the colleagues dedicated to making care better. So, how do we reset safety? Check out this blog from #PSAW to learn more: https://lnkd.in/ej-eCCvm Are you interested in joining IHI's Patient Safety Executive Professional Development Program (PSE)?

The Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation (GEDA) and Geriatric Surgery Verification (GSV) Program are initiatives designed to address the specific challenge of health systems not prepared to care for older adults who come into hospitals’ emergency departments and surgery departments. Age-Friendly Health Systems and these two initiatives share the same core set of evidence-based practices and have the potential to be offer efficiencies when implemented simultaneously.

The need for trauma-informed care spans beyond patients who live with PTSD. A patient advocate offers advice for supporting patient-centered practices that promote safety, empowerment, and healing. https://lnkd.in/eBsrfaEE

It is essential that older adults receive age-friendly care in every health care setting, from the primary care office to the emergency department to the operating room. To obtain recognition by IHI as an Age-Friendly Health System, health care organizations need to demonstrate that they are reliably providing a set of four evidence-based elements of high-quality care, known as the “4Ms,” to all older adults: What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility.

Evidence is paramount in policy-making due to its reliance on the scientific method. On the latest episode of Turn on the Lights podcast, Kedar and Don are joined by Alan Weil, editor-in-chief of Health Affairs, for a discussion on various ways to improve the US health care system and combat widespread misinformation. They tackle the challenges of implementing evidence-based policies in a polarized political landscape and the essential role that Health Affairs plays in fostering scientific understanding among policymakers and health care professionals. Join this episode to learn why there's still hope for the future of health care policy despite challenges: https://lnkd.in/eJ7yekXi Turn on the Lights Podcast is also available on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

“No one thinks that they treat patients differently,” said Michael Posencheg, MD, Associate Chief for Clinical Affairs at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, “but when you look at the data, you can see that there are reasons, whether it’s unconscious or conscious, that different patients get different interventions.” That is why he believes there is "no quality without #healthequity." According to Posencheg, collecting and using REaL (race, ethnicity, and language) data to identify inequities, help set priorities, and drive improvement is key. “When you look, you find gaps,” he said. “And when you find gaps, you have a real drive and an obligation to strive for improvement.” https://lnkd.in/eznbeJyk

“Without data, you don’t know if you have a problem, you don't know if you’re making any headway in solving that problem, and you don't know whether the interventions that you’re trying to test or implement are holding," said Michael Posencheg, MD, Associate Chief for Clinical Affairs at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. For teams who may feel intimidated by the prospect of measurement, Posencheg offers a helpful concept: “just enough” data. “Teams sometimes feel like they need to have all of the data to make a decision about something,” he said in a recent interview. “I think many teams get into this ‘analysis paralysis,’ where all they want to do is look at all the available data before making a change.” The impulse to be comprehensive, while understandable, can needlessly stall progress. https://lnkd.in/eznbeJyk
