Transforming Care at the Bedside:
Overview, Insights and Lessons Learned
|
Crossing the Quality Chasm was released by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 2001. This ground breaking publication identified the need for systemic redesign to improve patient care and safety, increase patient satisfaction, and to identify ways to better attract and retain health professionals.
In response to the findings of the IOM report and the challenges to quality care delivery on medical/surgical units, the Transforming Care at the Bedside (TCAB) initiative was launched in 2003 as a collaborative effort of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation® (RWJF®) and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). Initially piloted at 10 hospitals, today the effort has grown to participation by over 80 hospitals in the TCAB Learning and Innovation Community in IHI’s IMPACT Network and 68 in the American Organization of Nurse Executives TCAB collaboratives.
TCAB engages leaders at all levels of the health care organization to:
- Improve the quality and safety of patient care on medical and surgical units;
- Increase the vitality and retention of nurses;
- Engage and improve the patient’s and family members’ experience of care; and
- Improve the effectiveness of the entire care team.
Whether you are looking for a basic understanding of the TCAB initiative, or you are interested in hearing about the experiences at two TCAB hospitals, or your organization is interesting in participating in one of the TCAB collaboratives , this webinar is sure to offer something for everyone.
