A Successful Approach to Quality & Performance Improvement in Primary Care
Wednesday, October 30, 2024
12:00 – 1:00 PM EDT

Speaker:

Jason Fisher, MSN, RN, NI-BC, CPHQ
Jason is a state and nationally-recognized healthcare quality and informatics leader, currently consulting for clients ranging from startups to the VA. He also serves as the President of the Ohio Association for Healthcare Quality.

Program Description:
Quality and performance improvement in primary care can be a challenging endeavor. Without a plan, buy-in from stakeholders, accountability, and the right tools and tactics, efforts to improve care delivery and outcomes will likely have sub-optimal results at best. This presentation will discuss an approach that proved measurably successful, resulting in local, state, and national recognition. By diving in from planning down to tools and tactics, participants will leave with ideas to incorporate into their own approach to quality and performance improvement.

OBJECTIVES:
Participants will be able to:

  • Describe the importance of a quality plan.
  • Create a process measure that drives an outcome measure.
  • Describe quality stakeholders and the importance of buy-in for setting the quality agenda.
  • Identify a framework and strategies for maintaining accountability.
  • Recognize tools and tactics for supporting quality improvement in primary care.
