Your Worst Day: Emergency Preparedness and Response Educational Series

Prepared by IPRO HQIC

For healthcare workers, it is not of question of if, but when an emergency will strike. Emergencies can take many forms and are among the most disruptive experiences that healthcare workers might encounter. Being prepared not only saves lives, but can prevent financial and property loss, and ensure the safety and well-being of entire communities. Having a plan helps staff, patients, families, and residents know what to do, where to go, and how to keep themselves safe during an emergency, and ensures access to essential information and equipment. This Emergency Preparedness and Response Series, told through the lens of those who have experienced emergencies in their settings, will help you prepare and train for emergencies, and anticipate potential hazards when an emergency occurs.

How to Rebuild, Reengage and Reenergize Your Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC)

Prepared by IPRO

In recent months, hospitals have begun to reengage their Patient and Family Advisory Councils (PFACs) after the adverse impact that the COIVD-19 pandemic had on their healthcare systems, including the ability to have in-person PFAC meetings. As a result, some hospital PFACs are even better and stronger than ever before. Wills Memorial Hospital, a 25-bed critical access hospital (CAH) located in Washington, GA will present on the rebuilding and reenergizing of their PFAC, identifying and prioritizing several key areas of concern, and implementing projects based on greatest need.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Explain the five Patient and Family Engagement metrics and other key measures of the Hospital Quality Improvement Contractor (HQIC) program.
  • Discuss the PFAC infrastructure and the importance of listening to the patient’s voice to improve patient care.
  • Illustrate how one hospital implemented training for the patient care team based on PFAC discussions and how the training has improved quality outcomes.

Anyone can develop sepsis, a life-threatening, complex and challenging condition to manage. There are significant human and financial costs associated with it. Every year more than 1.7 million adults in the U.S. develop sepsis, leading to over 270,000 deaths.

This event will feature proactive transitions in care and hand-off strategies to the next level of care provider to improve patient outcomes and prevent sepsis-related readmissions. The patient voice will be highlighted via a sepsis survivor story. Key discharge planning, patient and family engagement, health equity, infection prevention and patient education tactics will also be shared.

Learning Objectives:
Through this program, participants will:

  • Review successful care coordination and partnership strategies across the care continuum to prevent sepsis-related hospital readmissions.
  • Explore promising practices for overcoming challenges that affect handoffs to the next level of care.
  • Learn how to engage patients and families as partners and integrate their health-related social needs into the discharge planning process to improve patient outcomes.
  • Hear about a sepsis survivor story
