Educators' EBP Workshop® - Accepting Abstracts



In its 8th year, this acclaimed workshop for educators examines teaching-learning strategies, competencies, and interdisciplinary efforts in evidence-based quality and patient safety education.  The workshop explores EBP resources, trends, and issues related to preparation of the workforce to be a vital part of healthcare improvement.



National leaders discuss powerful programs that are changing clinical care and rapidly becoming national standards. Discussions will include implications of these new trends for education, essential EBP competencies and teaching strategies, revision of basic and graduate curricula and staff development courses, and new online educational resources.



TeamSTEPPS™ Workshop

TeamSTEPPS™ is the standardized federal program for healthcare team training.  The new teamwork system optimizes team performance in order to resolve communication breakdowns, a major contributing factor to sentinel events.

This evidence-based teamwork system advances quality, safety, and efficiency of patient care by improving communication and other teamwork skills among healthcare professionals.  As part of the National Implementation of TeamSTEPPS project, the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) have partnered to build a national support network to move this effective system into healthcare agencies and professional education. 



Local TeamSTEPPS Master Trainers lead this interactive workshop and move beyond the essentials of teamwork to enable participants to develop actionable plans for integrating teamwork into practice in their own organization.



Essential Elements: An Introduction to Evidence-Based Practice



Highly recommended for those new to the Summer Institute. The Institutes
are organized around the ACE Star Model of Knowledge Transformation
that is introduced during this preconference. This content is covered in
depth only in this session – a perfect place for your EBP Team to begin
building toward employing EBP!

Accepting Abstracts



In its 11th year, this Institute builds capacity for healthcare providers to actively shape the future of quality and safety in healthcare through translating evidence into practice. Join frontline leaders, midlevel managers, top directors, educators, and scientists to share information on informing improvement with evidence, employing improvement strategies, and leading improvement at every level.  Because frontline and evidence are powerful drivers in building quality and safety, we look at 'what it takes' to move healthcare to a high level of quality and safety.  In each discussion, effective strategies are underscored with evidence.  Take home expert advice on cutting edge approaches that leverage evidence, organizational climate, and clinician vitality.  This all-new conference explores best approaches to accelerate change and adoption by increasing your “IQ for QI”, with actionable information.



Participants will learn 'what works' in building care processes and supporting care providers in the evolving environment of improvement.  In each discussion, effective strategies are underscored with evidence.  Because frontline and evidence are powerful drivers in building quality and safety, we look at 'what it takes' to move healthcare to a high level of quality and safety.
