This is a 3-hour intermediate to advanced level quality and safety workshop conducted by anesthesiologists from USA with expertise in quality improvement and safety analytics. The workshop is designed to provide pediatric anesthesiologists and other clinicians an introduction to concepts like resilience engineering, using real time data to drive improvement, patient safety organization databases like Wake Up Safe. We will cover topics relevant for Quality improvement and safety analytics to improve outcomes in children having anesthesia for surgery and medical procedures.

Learning Objectives:
1) Evaluate the challenge of balancing efficiency and thoroughness to achieve high quality care and patient safety
2) Participants will understand the concepts of resilience engineering as an alternative or complement to traditional view of safety. How can safety systems transition from safety zero or one to safety two?
3) Provide the foundational concepts for using real time data to drive improvement projects
4) Discuss the national patient safety organization Wake Up Safe and what it means to have one in Australia & New Zealand

FRIDAY

Dealing with Emotionally Challenging Patient Encounter: Implementing ARCs Framework

Date: 28/10/2022
