Speaker: Professor Jeffrey Braithwaite

In this workshop, we will explore Learning Health Systems, building on last year's workshop at the ISQua 39th conference in Seoul, Korea. We will be analysing a leading Learning Health System, the MAYO clinic in the United States of America, examining their progress in becoming a Learning Health System. Multiple other international experts, from as wide afield as Australia, India, the Netherlands, the United States and Ireland will add commentary and illuminate the MAYO clinic case example from multiple perspectives.

Details  will be availble soon

Speaker: Helen Crisp & Jan Mackereth-Hill

 This interactive workshop will encourage those leading to quality improvement efforts in their healthcare system to consider how to use the available resources for quality improvement (QI) in healthcare to achieve improvement that will be sustainable over the longer term. Exercises will take participants through a range of commonly used approaches for QI, looking at the necessary steps to combine the tools and methods for more effective improvement.

The workshop will cover:

Speaker:  Bruce Agins & John Brennan

Workshop Objectives:

1. To appreciate the distinct context for high quality primary care

2. To review frameworks for and examples of high quality primary care at national, subnational and facility levels

3. To discuss how global frameworks for quality (STEEPA) and primary care (primary healthcare theory of change;  PHCPI) are translated into practice in healthcare systems         

4. To explore how public health/policy programs can support facility level primary care quality program implementation through standards, education, practice facilitation, technology, patient partnership and other means with specific international examples

speakers: Prof. Figen Cizmeci Senel (TUSKA), Assoc. Prof.Ibrahim H. Kayral (TUSEB), Dr Karen Luxford (ACHS and ACHSI), Louise Cuskelly (ACHSI).

Moderator: Bassel El Sayegh (ACHSI)

In a rapidly changing world, this session will consider how accreditation can adapt to assess safety and quality in an environment of challenges, including workforce shortages, new models of care delivery, environmental sustainability, information overload and technology innovations. The potential of digitisation, artificial intelligence, and performance data to transform accreditation assessment will be discussed.

This will be an interactive session with participants engaging in assessing their own current environment and discussing future potential for adopting new approaches.

Speakers: Carsten Engel, Siri Wiig and Ulfat Shaikh

speakers: Eugene Nelson (USA), Brant Oliver (USA), Eyal Zimlachman (Israel), Anuradha Pichumani (India)

The workshop will be divided into three parts

 In Part 1, we will introduce real-world cases demonstrating the successful use of mainstreaming PROMS in different parts of the world to improve outcomes, experience, care value, and equity for different types of patient populations served in widely varying health systems.

 In Part 2, participants will be able to choose 1 of 3 options for a hands-on exercise: (a) Using PROMs in ahealthcare system to learn, innovate & improve; (b) Using PROMs with patients and clinicians to coproduce health and healthcare; and (c) Using PROMs to support a learning health system.

Part 3 will feature a panel discussion that will allow the workshop participants to ask questions and have a discussion with the faculty on topics that are important to them as they consider how best to use PROMs in their “home” settings and health systems.

This half-day preconference workshop bridges the “know-do” gap in improving healthcare by engaging participants in a simulation exercise of an actual improvement activity. The simulation exervcise consists of six 40-minute sessions. Each session consists of a 10 minute introduction in large group, 20 minutes of small group exercise, and 10 minutes of large group feedback and discussion. The theory, principles, frameworks, methods, and tools of improving healthcare are introduced just-in-time as they come up in the simulation exercise. No prior knowledge or experience with healthcare improvement is required for this workshop.

Session Format: This is a half-day pre-conference workshop.

The workshop consists of 6 sessions 40 minutes each

Each session consits of:

--10 minute introduction

-- 20 minute work in small groups at roundtables

-- 10 minutes large group feedback and discussion
