New Governance Training Program in Quality and Safety
March 13 2013 - 7:12AM
The Governance Institute, a service of National Research
Corporation, partnered with the Jefferson School of Population
Health (JSPH) to present a one-day training program on quality and
safety for board members who attended The Governance Institute's
Leadership Conference earlier this month at The Breakers in Palm
Beach, FL. The program was led by Dr. David B. Nash, dean of The
Thomas Jefferson University School of Population Health. A total of
33 attendees (including 26 board members and seven healthcare
executives) participated in this inaugural training session, which
focused on strategic and tactical issues involved in creating a
cutting-edge quality and safety governance program. The interactive
training included practical examples of the board's role and the
role of the quality committee in quality and patient safety
efforts, and incorporated the perspectives of all affected
stakeholders in the healthcare system. Upon successful completion
of the course, board members received a certificate from The
Governance Institute and JSPH. Feedback from attendees was
extremely positive. "There is a critical need to ensure that
patients receive the best quality care without harm, at all times,"
said The Governance Institute's CEO Jona Raasch. "So boards have a
vital responsibility to hardwire this into their organization's
culture. This training program provides valuable take-home lessons
for boards looking to accomplish this goal." The Governance
Institute will hold this special training program again on Sunday,
October 20, 2013 at The Greenbrier, a resort in White Sulphur
Springs, West Virginia, just prior to the opening of its Leadership
Conference.
