  7. Chapter Leader Succession Plan (Notes from Report outs) Co-leaders with overlap of terms so we don’t lose knowledge Term requirements hard because of the different schools Create a leadership board with one student and faculty representative from each health profession school or department Develop an Alumni network to continue building the community Use the Extranet , Google docs, Facebook (blackboard?) to share what works well at each Chapter regarding their leadership structure Chapter leaders can mentor and stay involved in their Chapter after graduation or start a new Chapter at their next school/hospital (alumni network that acts as preceptors etc)

  8. Chapter Leader/Chapter Guidelines (Notes from Report outs) Chapter Smaller groups meet more often Set meeting goals before each meeting and distribute meeting minutes to document progress Submit quarterly reports to IHI based on progress against goals Create a listserv or working space to post info Have at least 2 core leaders (co-leaders) Have 1 co-leader from each discipline (school) with 1 overall leader to guide Committee or board of involved student (some schools require formal board) Clear that it’s student led with faculty as mentors Create annual goals (progress reports) Mission/goals NO requirements for membership (would be too formal) Receive formal recognition from university within 1 year of creation Require faculty representation Chapter Leaders Join at least 50% of the Chapter Leader calls Schedule a minimum quarterly meetings (or bimonthly) Attend 1 IHI meeting Participate in Chapter Leader project Demonstrate outreach efforts to recruit Complete basic certification 1st year (time) and 4th year (clinical experience) Contact at a local health center

  9. Chapter Activities • (Notes from Report outs) • Review course/modules (on laptops for credit)- faculty leaders? • Invite members to present their research interests or results, (e.g.. Med blogging) • Host a discussion of actual, real life cases- response from admins in relation to case • Invite guest speakers or students with clinical experience • Play Friday Night at the ER board game • Simulation center/ role playing of cases • Join a Q&A or debriefing with Morbidity & Mortality Team • Role play: disclosures and apologies- sensitivity to patients • Review articles or suggested readings (forum for posting comments) • Join local National Patient Safety Week activities (partner with local facilities) • Host a mini-case competition for skill building- national competitions • Collect data in local units by members, analysis at meetings (with approval) • Talk to clinicians about patient education activities- create patient brochures to improve patience literacy • Talk to friends or loved ones about medical experience (gather stories and quantitative data) • Invite organizations to speak at meetings (policy/advocacy opportunities) • Invite new members from other professions to lead Chapter meetings • Chapters can be a resource for hospital to solve problems (contact process improvement personnel) • Create a project / job board to match students with opportunities • Apply for funding from other foundations/hospitals/healthcare orgs for multi-chapters projects • IHI research cohort • Patient safety and IHI decathlon: relays, checklists, fun games, teamwork, increase awareness • Debate questions-policy • *Check out the Activities & Exercises on the website and Extranet for more ideas!
