A list of our Patient-Centered Care resources and related organizations. Patient-Centered Care Find a list of our Patient-Centered Care Resources below: PLANE TREE http://planetree.org/ Joint Commission Patient Safety http://www.jointcommission.org/patient_safety_systems_chapter_for_the_hospital_program/ The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) – Click here for Link Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA An Always Events ® is a clear, action-oriented, and pervasive practice or set of behaviors that provide the following: A foundation for partnering with patients and their families; Actions that will ensure optimal patient experience and improved outcomes; and A unifying force for all that demonstrates an ongoing commitment to person- and family-centered care. Always Events Getting Started Kit Campaign Zero Karen Curtiss founded Campaign Zero in 2005 and became her way to transform her family’s tragedies into better outcomes for others. She is building a national network of CampaignZERO speakers who offer community workshops. Purpose: to foster collabora tion among patients, their advocates, and the health care team. They believe this will result in better quality care and support for medical staff, especially nurses who serve on the front line in every hospital. 3 main goals : Prevent harm and death caused by preventable medical errors Help lower the costs of health care for all, and Help shift attitudes toward problem-solving and away from litigation. Partner health An organization that uses “Tangible Tools for Patient & Family Engagement”. Home of the book, Safe & Sound in the Hospital: Must-Have Checklists and Tools for Your Loved One’s Care by Karen Curtiss , founder of CampaignZero. Patient Safety Movement Website: http://patientsafetymovement.org/ A disconnected understanding of the patient and appropriate care pathway has a devastating impact in both lives and costs. Saving lives and helping to prevent the more than 200,000 preventable patient deaths each year can largely be addressed by connecting the dots between current processes and procedures and proven solutions that are available today. By bringing the medical technologies and IT infrastructure together with relevant information, intelligent and predictive algorithms, and decision support that facilitate the process of care improvements, physicians and patients could be informed of dangerous trends, lives could be saved, and costs could be dramatically reduced. Getting to ZERO will take all of us working together – clinicians, administrators, medical technology companies, payers, government, and patients. We created the Patient Safety Movement Foundation to aggressively address this problem. The Foundation is breaking down the silos between hospitals, medical technology companies, doctors, engineers and families of patients who have died needlessly. The mission of the Patient Safety Movement Foundation is to do the following: Unify the healthcare ecosystem Identify the challenges that are killing patients to create actionable solutions Ask hospitals to implement Actionable Patient Safety Solutions Promote transparency Ask med-tech companies to share the data their devices generate in order to create a Patient Data Super Highway to help identify at-risk patients Correct misaligned incentives Promote love and patient dignity Institute for Patient-and-Family-Centered Care About: The Institute provides consultation, training, and technical assistance to hospitals, clinical practices, educational institutions, architecture firms, community organizations, and agencies at state, provincial, and federal levels. Listed below are some of the services the Institute would be pleased to provide to programs and organizations interested in patient- and family-centered change. Patient/Family Engagement featuring the Malizzo’s: Meet the Malizzos About: They shared their story at the QualityNet 2011 Conference in Baltimore, MD on December 13, 2011 to an audience of thousands of CMS contractors working to make health care safer in the United States. They hope it will inspire others to become more patient-centered and to focus on health care improvement. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) An online resource from AHRQ, features the Guide to Patient and Family Engagement in Hospital Safety and Quality. The Guide outline concrete opportunities to engage patients and families in individual care and at an organizational level.

Home Health Nursing: A QSEN Approach | Resources, references, and educational tools pertaining to home health care. Quality and Safety in Primary Care NEPQR – RNPC CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY GRANT NUMBER: UK1HP31696 Enhancing Nurse Roles in Community Health (ENRICH): Undergraduate and Workforce Training and Education in Primary Care. Goals Goal 1. Recruit and integrate the BSN students into the VA CoEPCE Interprofessional Academic PACT and community based clinics to enhance RN primary care competency. Goal 2. Enhance staff RN competence in the expanded role of the RN in primary care to prepare RN preceptors to teach and role model working at the top of the RN license. Goal 3. Improve and expand the teamwork and collaboration of the existing Cleveland VA clinic Patient Aligned Care Teams (PACT) to include all learners. Goal 4. Enhance the existing BSN curriculum, student competence and faculty competence on the expanded role of the RN in primary care at the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing. The Case Western Reserve University Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing (SON) will partner with established community-based veteran’s affairs (VA) primary care providers to provide undergraduate nursing students and licensed registered nurses with the education and training experiences necessary to practice primary care at the full extent of their license. The proposed project enhances an existing academic-clinical partnership between the SON and the VA Transforming Outpatient Care (TOPC) Center of Excellence in Primary Care Education (CoEPCE) program. The TOPC CoEPCE is an interprofessional academic patient centered medical home model that includes learners from graduate programs in medicine, nurse advanced practice nursing, psychology, pharmacy and social work who learn and deliver contemporary evidence-based primary care services. Broad ranging opportunities such as health promotion education and coaching, chronic disease management, population health management, care coordination, mental health integration, and telehealth will be emphasized. A rigorous evaluation plan will ensure that process and outcomes are continually measured and data are used to make improvements to ensure programmatic improvement and sustainab ility. The SON and the VA CoEPCE TOPC team will contribute the content of an implementation kit that will be used to spread the initiative. The ENRICH Program meets the funding preference as students will train at the VA Northeast Ohio Healthcare System. This project is supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of an award totaling $2,187,305.00 with 0 percentage financed with non-governmental sources.
