SUMMARY:HQIC Community of Practice Call: Partnering with Patients & Families to Prevent All-Cause Harm
DESCRIPTION:Preventing all-cause harm continues to be a national priority. In 2016\, an estimated 2.7 million harm events affecting hospital inpatients occurred\, leading to more than 80\,000 deaths at a cost of nearly $29 billion. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services\, nearly 44 percent of these events and deaths could have been prevented. Studies have shown that people who are more involved in their care tend to be more satisfied\, more likely to understand their acute and chronic conditions\, and are able to make informed decisions that can better help them. \nThis event will feature strategies for hospitals and patients/families to engage as partners to ensure the right care is being delivered to the right patient at the right time to foster improvements in patient safety\, health care quality\, patient outcomes and equity\, while also minimizing staff burden. \nPlease Join Us!

SUMMARY:IPRO HQIC Sepsis Affinity Group: Mid-to-large sized Hospitals
DESCRIPTION:  \nSepsis remains a national priority and is a complex and challenging condition to manage. Despite substantial attention to improvement\, an opportunity still exists to decrease sepsis-related morbidity and mortality. More than 1.7 million adults in the U.S develop sepsis every year\, leading to over 270\,000 deaths (CDC\, 2020). \nHospitals are committed to improving care\, outcomes\, and costs; however\, many have expressed they wrestle with where and how to start their quality improvement efforts. \nIPRO is launching a 6-month Sepsis Affinity Group to help support and provide a networking forum specifically for mid-to-large sized hospitals as they work to reduce sepsis-related harm. With the shared goal of accelerating learning and improvement\, participants will have access to content experts and a platform to share experiences\, evidence-based practices\, and tools\, as well as explore successes\, challenges and lessons learned to drive progress on sepsis-related harm. Some topics to be included are sepsis screening\, SEP-1 bundle compliance and reporting\, and more. \n  \nOn behalf of the IPRO HQIC team\, we look forward to your joining and working together with the Sepsis Affinity Group!
