The Great Lakes Partners for Patients Hospital Improvement Innovation Network (GLPP HIIN), in partnership with the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality (AHRQ), is currently inviting hospitals to participate in the Safety Program for Improving Surgical Care and Recovery (ISCR) Workshop. The event will be held Nov. 11, 2019 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. CST at the Illinois Health & Hospital Association in Naperville, IL.
The conference agenda has been finalized and is
now available. Participants will hear from speakers on a range of topics, including how to engage patient and families in ISCR pathways, a panel discussion with current ISCR participating hospitals and simulation exercises related to pathway implementation and overcoming common challenges.
Those interested in attending should bring a small team of two to three staff including nurses, quality improvement specialists and surgeons to provide the best opportunity for brainstorming and interactive discussions throughout the day.

But now, they are forced to step back and are not able to make the determination that they are very capable of making.” Community website if you do not already have one.
