Engaging Leadership and Governance

Engaging Leadership and Governance in Quality and Patient Safety Initiatives

Ensuring safe, high-quality care is provided to all patients requires engaging all hospital employees—from front-line caregivers to senior leaders to engaging trustees—in ongoing improvement efforts. Too often, quality and safety initiatives are siloed within one department or unit; even when initiatives are successful, they may not be effectively spread across the organization. Hospital and health system leaders and trustees have a crucial role in supporting and promoting quality improvement work.

During this webinar, a quality and patient safety professional and hospital trustee discuss how to increase engagement by all parties. Participants learn how to use reports, tools, data, communication strategies and more to increase engagement in quality and safety, which ultimately leads to improved care and lower costs.

Presenters:

• Ken Anderson, DO, MS, CPE, Chief Operating Officer, Health Research & Educational Trust
• Kimberly McNally, MN, RN, BCC, Trustee, University of Washington Medicine
