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 the attendees will use actual de-identified cases of medical harm to work through all of the processes associated with the principled approach to patient harm. This will include event reporting, system activation, immediate and ongoing communication with patients, families, loved ones and the care team, event review and resolution.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the comprehensive, principled and systematic approach to harm from event through resolution.
  • Explain the interconnectedness of all of the domains of the response to harm.
  • Use empathic communication skills at all points of contact.
