Great Lakes Practice Transformation Network (GLPTN), Healthy Hearts
in the Heartland (H3), and Vizient are pleased to welcome Michael McGee,
MD, for a webinar on “Implementing an Enhanced Recovery Program for
Surgery.”
Dr. McGee, a colorectal surgeon at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, will
share his experiences carrying out a large-scale quality improvement
program that included a strong patient engagement component. The
program reduced wound infections after colorectal surgery by 50% and
reduced readmissions by 40%.
Dr. McGee will describe the barriers his team experienced while changing
the protocol in a large healthcare system, and will share the strategies
they used to overcome challenges. He also will provide examples of how
data was used to change culture and garner support. Q&A follows the
presentation.
Target
Audience: This webinar is designed for physicians
and other healthcare professionals.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize barriers to implementing a large
quality improvement (QI) project
- Develop strategies to overcome barriers to
implementing a large QI project
- Detail basic tenets of surgically enhanced
recovery protocols
- Develop audit and feedback programs to enhance
performance of existing QI projects
- Apply this information to professional practice
These learning objectives align closely
with the TCPI change package;
quality improvement programs with patient and family input are included
in Drivers 1 and 2.
