DVD Series on the Board's Role in Quality and Patient Safety
In this challenging economic climate, it is crucial to find an affordable way to educate the Board on how to oversee the quality and safety clinical care -- the core work of health care. This newly released DVD set, The Summit Series: The Board's Role in Quality and Patient Safety is the answer -- for healthcare organizations of every size and type.
In a meticulously crafted set of 12 programs, governance and quality experts Jamie Orlikoff and Jim Reinertsen provide a superb resource to quickly improve the understanding and capability of the entire board, orient new board members, develop and improve the quality committee, and even "certify" the learning and growth of trustees -- whether your board oversees a critical access hospital, a major regional system, or a complex academic health center. The Board's Role in Quality and Patient Safety is also extremely helpful for medical staff leaders, particularly in their interaction with the board over quality of care issues.
The 12 programs are flexibly structured in 20-30 minute segments, with written guides for reflection and discussion, so that board members and other leaders can use these DVDs to learn:
- during education sessions at board meetings
- during committee meetings as a regular part of the agenda
- in board retreats and other group activities
- as individuals at home on their own time
The programs are divided into three sections to help board members:
- See the Problem.
- Own the Problem.
- Solve the Problem.
Affordable and critical education for your board; at your own location and at your convenience!
