Title
Capacity Building for Case-based Quality and Safety Education using QuaCC: the Quality Care Curriculum
Length of Presentation
Rationale/Background
Quality Improvement and Patient Safety (QIPS) teaching is becoming widely accepted as a vital aspect of modern medical education1. Despite this, there exist several barriers to its effective implementation in the clinical context, including limited skills, resources, and opportunities for applied and interactive learning2. Many institutions rely on a combination of didactic lectures with mandatory QI projects for residents or medical students3. We have designed an innovative, longitudinal, case-based QIPS curriculum, which addresses learning needs across undergraduate, post-graduate, and faculty development levels. Each session focuses on the application of a quality, safety or leadership concept to a real case, which is identified and presented by the learners, followed by a facilitated, clinically relevant discussion.
Instructional Methods
The workshop will build capacity to facilitate case-based QIPS education sessions through the use of small group activities. Groups will be provided with preparatory materials and be coached through delivering and participating in fun, interactive, and adaptable sample sessions. An approach to the implementation and evaluation of such a curriculum will be explored.
Target audience
Clinical educators (Faculty, Fellows, Senior Residents) with an interest in QIPS.
Learning Objective
By the end of this session, participants will be able to
1. Develop a curriculum for case-based learning of QIPS materials
2. Deliver QIPS rounds to engage learners at all levels
3. Evaluate the success of their case-based QIPS curriculum in a clinical context
