Project Summary:
WCHQ holds four member events per year to bring educational opportunities to our Wisconsin healthcare providers and the entire healthcare ecosystem, and allow opportunities for ongoing dialogue and collaboration between those providers and stakeholders. The goals of WCHQ events are to: advance healthcare quality, address health disparities and promote health equity, support professional development and networking, and promote innovation with real-world impact.
Our Quality Impact Assembly specifically will focus on how quality data drives improvement, utilizing member priorities and member case studies to showcase how they are using quality data to drive interventions and improvement in their own systems.
The introductory presentation will focus on the importance of data and quality measurement to make improvements in populations and/or organizations. Topics include improving colorectal cancer screening, improving HPV rates as cancer prevention, using data to improve hypertension, and using data to drive system-level change: a chronic kidney disease case study. We will have short presentations on innovative collaborations between WCHQ Health system members and partners throughout the healthcare ecosystem, allowing for breaks and discussions throughout the event. Event
Learning Objectives:
- Understand how to use measurements and data to showcase quality improvement work at your organization.
- Understand how to set quality priorities within your organization using the quadruple aim framework (population health, cost savings, patient experience, and provider experience) (quality priorities are equity and value priorities)
- Apply data-driven strategies for measuring what matters most in your community to make meaningful improvements.
- Understand the role of WCHQ in bringing together health systems and partners to improve healthcare quality.
This event is public and open to anyone in the healthcare ecosystem working to improve healthcare quality. The event’s primary audience and focus of marketing will be with Wisconsin Health System clinical staff, quality nurses, quality staff, social workers, and community programming throughout the state. This type of opportunity brings providers together to network and collaborate on best practices and initiatives to work together to improve care.
