This year, the CIR Policy and Education Initiative, partnering with the Healthcare Transformation Project of Cornell University, is organizing a series of conferences in the New York metropolitan area to focus on the topic of physician leadership in quality improvement and patient safety.
The first conference is on April 13 (9:45am-4:00pm) in Manhattan and is entitled:
"What's your QI IQ?: Resident Physicians as Quality Improvement Leaders."
The conference will feature:
- interactive didactic sessions led by James Pelegano, MD, MS, Program Director for the Jefferson School's Master's Program for Healthcare Quality and Safety, and an innovator in the field of Patient Safety and Quality;
- Small-group breakout sessions that will allow participants to practice and refine the methods they have learned;
- Panel discussion with resident physicians who are currently working on Quality Improvement and Patient Safety;
- Hands-on workshop on the formulation and writing of QI/Patient Safety project proposals.

we have been doing some interesting work with our pediatric residents over the past several years, based on a model I had been using at a prior position in NY. we use the ambulatory rotation to build in didactic, self learning and experiential involvement in QI. The current iteration of the didactic is a workshop where we simulate a meeting with a health plan medical director sharing practice performance data and the residents need to interpret the data, ask essential questions then define an aim, measures and a few cycles of changes to implement to improve performance. They also attach themselves to an existing QI effort in the organization. This was an experiment this year, we will likely go back to the residents identifying a project they can share and run in primary care.
