The responsibilities of
senior leaders are
changing:
Adapt with IHI's Executive Quality Academy
Join
the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) in Cambridge, MA, US on
April 8-10, 2013, for our updated Executive
Quality Academy (EQA). In the
era of “accountable
care,”
leaders are under pressure to produce both high quality
and high value. While it's important to improve quality in one
condition, or reduce costs in one department, the new health care
environment demands system-level measures of quality performance for
whole organizations, and even for whole populations.
We've
updated EQA
for 2013 and beyond. Now, the course includes:
- A new
IHI Leadership Model for Improvement based on the experiences of
hundreds of health care organizations
- Expansion
of concepts and examples beyond the traditional hospital walls
—
including learning from organizations pursuing the IHI Triple Aim
- A
new focus on how leaders drive and maintain patient-centered
organizational cultures
- Leadership
strategies to eliminate waste from support and clinical care processes,
critical to organizational sustainability in an era of declining
revenue and reimbursement
- A
stronger focus on leadership and innovation
 Why participate?
As a senior executive, ask yourself the following
questions:
- Do you feel frustrated about your
organization’s ability to spread improvements across the entire
organization?
- Do you find that you implement successful
improvements for a while, but when you revisit the department a few
months later, there’s no apparent evidence that any of the
changes have been embedded into standard work practices?
- Are you faced with achieving measured
quality aims that you have no idea how to reach?
- Are you confident that your executive team
has the right skills to achieve your stated quality aims, including
measured performance on items such as the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services Core Measures?
If any of these questions give you pause, this is
the program
for your executive team.
