Integrating Quality Improvement in Medical Education: Strategies and Patient Engagement

This presentation from the SCCPD retreat highlights the critical integration of Quality Improvement (QI) in Continuing Medical Education (CME) and across the medical continuum. It discusses the alarming statistic of 98,000 annual U.S. deaths due to medical errors and emphasizes a QI approach to preventive strategies. Key points include bridging the gap between academia and clinical practice, introducing safety concepts into medical curricula, and engaging patients in their healthcare education. Collaboration opportunities and innovative engagement strategies are also explored.

  1. CCME 2011 sharing Joan Sargeant June, 2011

  2. Integrating quality improvement (QI) in CME and across the continuum • Source: Plenary, SCCPD retreat • Contact: Dr Brian Wong, U Toronto (internist, QI scholar) • Key points: • In US 98,000 people die /year due to medical error (i.e., an airline crash per day with 300 people) • How can we prevent errors? • QI approach of studying processes and seeking improvement, generally through learning or through system change (P, D, S, A)

  3. 1. Integrating quality improvement in CME and across the continuum • How to integrate these concepts into med ed? • For CME and PGME, e.g., turn M&M rounds into discussions of how to prevent/ improve negative outcomes • Challenge for CME – link to clinical departments (bridge gap between academia and clinical worlds) • For PG and UG: • Introduce concepts of safety, QI, error prevention • Provide practical opportunities; e.g., QI, error cases; QI committees, other? • Are safety and QI a focus of our curricula? Should they be?

  4. 2. Involving patients in med ed across the continuum • 2 opportunities: • Informal discussion with Bernard Charlin, Head Scholarship Unit, U Montreal & Cynthia Andrews, Dal • U Montreal also interested in how to better engage patients/ public in UGME and IPE • Links with Cynthia and Health Mentors Program re how to pursue this • E.g., potential for co-submitting a workshop or education innovation to CCME next year

  5. 2. Involving patients in med ed across the continuum • Source – SCCPD retreat plenary • Dr Mike Evans, Fam Med, and Health Design Lab, U of T; drmikeevans.com • How to move from educating patients to engaging patients in their health care? • Concept of clinician as “curator of education materials” for patients/ public • How to engage patients as “drivers” of med ed? • Visiting Halifax June 13, 14; would like to work with us
