Berwick, MD, Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) |
| Description: |
PowerPoint
presentation. Thanks in part to the efforts of our nation’s Quality
Improvement Organizations, process improvement methods are maturing
in health care, with a consequent unprecedented opportunity to speed
effective changes into widespread practice. To bring this opportunity
to the forefront, and to give it point and a deadline, the Institute
for Healthcare Improvement in December, 2004, invited major stakeholders
in American health care to join together in a “ campaign ” to
save 100,000 lives, through rapid deployment of six, proven changes
in clinical care that can avoid or delay needless deaths. The “100,000
Lives Campaign” will work to enable at least 1600 hospitals to
undertake six, specific improvements within the next 18 months: (1)
deployment of Rapid Response Teams, (2) increasing reliability of technically
correct care for acute myocardial infarctions, (3) prevention of surgical
site infections, (4) prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia,
(5) prevention of central venous line sepsis, and (6) adopting medication
reconciliation processes are transition points in care.
Dr. Berwick
will explain the theory and strategy of the campaign , and recommend
ways that QIO’s can help even more to achieve this important
goal for health care providers throughout the country. |

| Description: |
PowerPoint
presentation. Thanks in part to the efforts of our nation’s Quality
Improvement Organizations, process improvement methods are maturing
in health care, with a consequent unprecedented opportunity to speed
effective changes into widespread practice. To bring this opportunity
to the forefront, and to give it point and a deadline, the Institute
for Healthcare Improvement in December, 2004, invited major stakeholders
in American health care to join together in a “ campaign ” to
save 100,000 lives, through rapid deployment of six, proven changes
in clinical care that can avoid or delay needless deaths. The “100,000
Lives Campaign” will work to enable at least 1600 hospitals to
undertake six, specific improvements within the next 18 months: (1)
deployment of Rapid Response Teams, (2) increasing reliability of technically
correct care for acute myocardial infarctions, (3) prevention of surgical
site infections, (4) prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia,
(5) prevention of central venous line sepsis, and (6) adopting medication
reconciliation processes are transition points in care.
Dr. Berwick
will explain the theory and strategy of the campaign , and recommend
ways that QIO’s can help even more to achieve this important
goal for health care providers throughout the country. |
