Summer Institutes on Quality Improvement
Experience a full immersion in the latest advances in healthcare improvement and take home action plans developed during these highly interactive conferences. For 2013, the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio School of Nursing, the Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice (ACE) and the Improvement Science Research Network (ISRN) combined the Summer Institute on Evidence-Based Practice and the Improvement Science Summit to form the new Summer Institutes on Quality Improvement: A Cluster of Interprofessional Conferences.
Upcoming Workshops
TeamSTEPPS® Master Training Workshop
This is an AHRQ-sponsored 2 ½ day train-the-trainer workshop that was developed by the Department of Defense; the evidential base derives from human factor engineering. Master Trainers exit with a certificate and an action plan for implementing the fundamentals training in their institution. Student studies available.
New Evidence-Based Guide
Building Successful Research Collaboratives for Healthcare Improvement is a newly published evidence-based guide on best practices for collaboration. Transdisciplinary collaboration is essential in improvement science as complex research questions go beyond the realm of a single investigator.
