WHA Offers 2018 Physician Quality Academy, May 15-16

In an effort to ensure providers have access to the training and resources necessary to successfully lead quality improvement initiatives, WHA is once again offering its WHA Physician Quality Academy in spring 2018. The 2018 Academy is scheduled May 15 and 16 at the WHA Training Center in Fitchburg.

Hospital and health system leaders are encouraged to register their physicians and advanced practice providers who are involved in quality improvement for the Academy. To further enhance the learning, have them attend as part of a dyad, registering a nurse leader or quality improvement leader as well.

Over two consecutive days of training, Academy participants learn to design and conduct quality improvement projects utilizing proven improvement models, interpret data correctly, facilitate physician colleague engagement in quality improvement and measurement, and discuss quality requirements, medical staff functions and their link to quality improvement.

Registration is now open for the 2018 Academy. The full event agenda and online registration are available at www.cvent.com/d/mtqztx. An event brochure is included in this week’s packet as well.
