Target Audience
CMOs, CNOs, key people involved in root cause analysis (RCAs) or event reviews.
Series OVERVIEW
The intent of the summer Candor training series is to familiarize network hospitals with the early disclosure process, Communication and Optimal Resolution (Candor). Candor is a powerful tool that works to maintain relationships with patients and families after an adverse event through immediate and frequent communication. It provides care for the caregiver and creates a culture of learning and process improvement throughout the facility.
Through this training series Iowa Healthcare Collaborative, Iowa Medical Society, Iowa Hospital Association and MedStar Institute for Quality and Safety will guide hospitals through the various elements of the Candor process and provide the tools needed for effective implementation at their facility.
Workshop Description
During this interactive and experiential workshop attendees will use actual de-identified cases of medical harm to work through the processes of event reporting and event review in a way that is consistent with the principled, comprehensive and systematic approach to patient harm. This will include the application of human-factored engineering concepts and the process of cognitive interviewing. Finally, all of the information learned from the review will serve as the basis for the development of sustainable change and prevention of future harm.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the fair and accountable approach to the review of unexpected harm events in healthcare.
- Explain the need to apply human-factored engineering concepts to event review.
- Discuss ways to conduct basic cognitive interviews of staff involved in unexpected events.
- Identify sustainable process re-designs and improvements will a high likelihood of being effective and sustainable.
