Webinar to explore how Parkview Health made care safer

The American Hospital Association will host a webinar on Parkview Health’s ongoing TeamSTEPPS journey to make care safer on Dec. 4 at 1:00 p.m. ET. An initiative of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, TeamSTEPPS is an evidence-based set of teamwork tools aimed at optimizing patient outcomes by improving communication and teamwork skills among health care teams, including patients and caregivers. Speakers from the Fort Wayne, Ind.-based system will explain its phased rollout, committee structures, education efforts and sustainability plan. In addition, they will describe how a custom TeamSTEPPS dashboard supports data-driven decisions and research efforts. They also will explain lessons learned to enable participants to adapt Parkview’s strategies to their own organizations. Attendees should register in advance.
