Are you ready for D2D? The D2D 5.1 submission platform opens next week Jan 11! It will remain open until February 8. D2D helps demonstrate the value of teams. It also helps focus local improvement work in teams. And as always, how much data you submit is totally up to you. In addition to your own patient experience survey data, here are links to other data you might want:
New to D2D? Here’s a helpful introduction. If you’re thinking of getting started, check out our Planning & Preparation page where you’ll find a video walkthrough, and many other resources. And you’re always welcome to reach out to us with any questions. Learning more about moving beyond measurement to improvement: Thanks to the team profile data from nearly 90 teams in D2D 5.0, some hints are coming out about what makes it easier to improve. The jury isn’t in yet, but it appears that single-site teams do better i.e. have lower costs and higher quality. Could it be about co-location? Something else? Please join your peers in the QI enablers study to get us all closer to answers that can help all teams, no matter how many sites they have. Please contact Carol Mulder to schedule your phone interview for the study. Meanwhile, keep turning your information into action! Check out the (new and improved) Information to Action web page. You don’t need to do ALL of these things though — just pick the one(s) you think might be useful for you. Most of them are free and available to any interested team. Contact Laura Belsito, our clinical KTE specialist, for help in getting started. It’s also Schedule A season soon. Shop online for indicators that might be easier to track and/or mean more to you and your team. The Program Performance Measures Catalogue (PPMC) was built by AFHTO members for AFHTO members. It gives you a way to draw on the wisdom of your peers and, at the very least, pick indicators that make it easier to compare between teams. Refer to the quick reference guide and video walk through on how to use it and check out even more program planning resources here! |

Couchiching FHT found a way to celebrate their progress in team-based care even before they hit it big time with not one but TWO AFHTO Bright Lights awards. They celebrated their progress with their own version of a bright light. How do you celebrate your progress with improvement? Please send your pics (and this release form indicating permission from everyone in the picture) to improve@afhto.ca. |
