Event

Due to changes in the healthcare landscape, there is intense pressure to improve the quality of care delivered. The pressure is especially intense in critical care, a venue associated with significant mortality, morbidity, and disproportionate cost. At the same time, despite an ever-increasing number of guidelines and an emerging evidence base, knowledge translation is slow and incomplete. The objectives of the session are to provide participants with practical tools that serve as the foundation of quality improvement. Participants will attend practical, case-based lectures on quality improvement methodology, followed by hands-on experience with the tools in interactive breakout sessions on 3 different processes of care.
