External QI Training

Wed, 01/11/2017 - 15:30 -- brandi_wamhoff

Hi Everyone!

I am looking to provide our QI Committee with an external training in QI.  Looking for something in the Chicagoland area.  Does anyone know of any coming up or contacts I could reach out to?

Thanks!

Brandi -

What is it specifically that you're looking for from a trainer? Are there specific competencies or learning/outcome objectives you're looking to address?

Well, I don't have something specific in mind but ideally it would be great if the training could contribute to helping our committee grow the QI culture here.

I haven't completed the whole course yet, but some colleagues and I are doing this online course through Harvard's EdX program.  It's several weeks of online videos and assignments with a new lesson being released each week starting today.

Brandi,

I work for the Michigan Public Health Institute and we provide QI training to state, local, and tribal public health agencies. We have a variety of training options available and adapt trainings to the needs of the particular group we are working with. While we're not directly in the Chicagoland area, we're not too far away. If you would like to connect, I would be happy to talk with you.

A number of states have created QI trainings delivered online.    For example, Minnesota, Washington......and so have some cities - Houston dept of health.     It might be good preparation prior to having an external group come in.
