An Outline of Our Curriculum Next we will summarize the components of our curriculum.

Teaching Evidence-Based Care USPSTF guidelines Choosing Wisely Campaign KP Regional Clinical Guidelines PICO exercise Monthly journal club to evaluate evidence

Resident Participation in Department Quality Team Over 200 family physicians in our department Quality team = 5 leaders and other physicians rotate through Rate cases Provide education to department All residents participate 1 -2 residents attend each month

Reporting Process for Patient Care Cases Involving Residents “Culture of Safety” Recognize/respond/disclose adverse events and near misses Safe reporting Tracking Educating Standardization of clinical processes

Monthly Quality Didactics/Discussions The resident(s) who attended the department quality meeting present the cases Highlight recurrent themes where providers make errors Discuss importance of effective communication between team members

Peer Chart Review Clinic visits, telephone appointment visits and e-mail messages Expectation of high quality documentation in EMR

Safety Net for Clinical Advice In-basket coverage calendar with assigned faculty to call every day/any time

Teaching Safe Habits Hand washing Not recapping needles Wearing goggles/masks for high-risk procedures

Panel Management EMR-based care gap reminders (in-reach) Registries/Report cards Team-based care/defined roles Pod-based efforts Learn processes/best practices for clinical strategic goals Participate in PBM outreach efforts

Studying a Process/Changing a Process Experiences in PDSA cycles Using SMART criteria Root-cause analysis/fishbone diagrams From report cards to improved performance Experiencing efforts to reduce errors

Institute of Health Care Improvement (IHI) Open School All of our residents complete IHI Open School Basic Certificate on their own time KP Southern California has an IHI residency network with 6 FM programs – resident led Collaborative QI projects

KP Southern California Regional Resident Performance Improvement Workshop Late in the first year of residency Provide guidance for class-based project

Scholarly Projects Class-based projects Individual projects: Literature review Clinical PI/QI/PS project Publishable/presentable scientific research

What are your expectations of residents’ quality and safety education? Learn the process Experiential is better Those more interested can do more Need to provide them support (time, faculty)

Assessing Our Residents Do residents enter training feeling illequipped to handle issues of QI/PS? Does training improve knowledge and skill? What parts are most and least useful?

Discussion Common challenges and strategies to overcome them: Faculty time Faculty interest and expertise Sustainability of projects Others?
