Our aim for the 2015-2016 school year was to improve the quality of our chapter activities and increase student and faculty engagement in QI/PS initiatives in the Texas Medical Center (TMC).

The goal of this lecture was to supplement gaps in medical education that are often overlooked, such as the intersection of business, entrepreneurship, and medicine. Dr. Berger emphasized the burgeoning need for technological solutions to healthcare problems, and encouraged students to strive to fill this need by developing their own products with their clinical expertise. He shared with us the process behind his design of SyncedCare’s individualized and intuitive user interface which improves upon patient-physician communication. Structure: The BCM IHI Mentorship program consists of groups of 1-2 students to one faculty mentor. Students were required to complete IHI modules QI101/102 before initial meeting with mentors with additional recommended modules to be completed throughout the year. The goals of the program are to educate students about the general principles of QI/PS, expose students to careers in QI/PS, and enhance opportunities for students to participate in QI/PS projects. Recruitment: 12 faculty mentors were recruited from a wide variety of fields including Medicine, Pediatrics, Surgery, and Radiology. A total of 16 medical students enrolled in the program (10 second year students and 6 third year students). Meeting 1 (September-October 2016) Goals: Required Modules: QI101 & QI102 Learn about implementing QI/PS in various career paths Discuss student’s past experiences, career goals, research interests, and expectations of mentorship relationship Meeting 2(November 2016 – January 2017) Goals: Recommended Modules: QI103, QI104, & QI105 Learn how to get involved in QI/PS initiatives as a student Discuss what to expect in a QI/PS project Understand how to start a QI/PS project Spring (January - June 2017): Self-directed meetings with mentors Recommended modules for completion: QI201, QI202, & QI301 Developing a student research project Collaborating on preexisting research project Administration of Pre-Program Questionnaire Objective 1: Increase the number of chapter activities and grow participation by promoting events to all healthcare students Objective 2: Improve the quality, quantity, and means of obtaining feedback/data from workshops, programs, and activities Objective 3: Provide and facilitate career development opportunities for students interested in QI/PS Education / Networking: Events for group viewing and discussions of IHI QI/PS Instructional Videos Utilization of chapter inter-institutional coordinator to increase non-BCM student/ faculty participation TMC Young Professionals Collaboration: Host an IHI booth and participate in the networking fair Community Engagement: Participate in I-CAN training this March 2017 Project Topics in Brainstorming Phase o Assessment of Risk Stratification for Pediatric patients using Adverse Childhood Experiences questionnaires o Patient Education regarding end-of-life or palliative care • Develop an understanding of communication processes • Learn and apply a standardized handoffs methodology Goals • Purposeand relevance of effective handoffs in healthcare • Situations and clinical settings in which handoffs occur Intro • Discussion of the importance of handoffs in preventing medical errors and adverse events • Students practice non-clinical handoff and receive feedback from instructor & peers • Students learn IPASS (Illness Severity, Patient Summary, Action List, Suggestions, Synthesis) methodology for handoffs • Students practice clinical handoffs using IPASS methodology with feedback from instructor & peers Application • Recognizing the components of an effective handoff • Addressing how handoffs can impact patient care Reflection Handoffs Workshop at Baylor College of Medicine 1 hours, 14 participants, 1 Instructor Student Organization Fair: Displayed poster boardshowcasingIHI Open School Chapter activities Chapter Officers recruited students of various disciplines to attend Introduction& PDSA Meeting Introduction & PDSA Meeting: Discussed goals, mission, vision, and activities Introduced students to Plan-Do-Study- Act (PDSA) Cycle and the IHI Model for Improvement IHI Open School Activity # of Participants Intro Meeting & PDSA Cycles 17 Mentorship Program* 16 Handoffs Workshop 14 Process Mapping Workshop 16 Root -Cause-Analysis Workshop 16 QI/PS Basic Certification* 35 Synced Care Lecture* 17 QI/PS Elective* 5 Annual QI/PS Conference 258 *indicates new events started by IHI since August 2016 Administration of Post-Program Questionnaire Overall: Four new events were added in 2016 to increase chapter engagement PDSA methodology was implemented to improve upon current events and the collection of internal quality improvement data Workshops: Learners’ confidence in performing skills was assessed via 5-point Likert scale. Improved confidence was seen for each skill: Handoffs (mean difference 2.43, p<0.0001), Process Mapping (mean difference 1.50, p<0.0001) and RCA (mean difference 1.69, p<0.0001) Overall, 82.6% of learners agreed that the workshops were useful and 91.3% of learners were likely to recommend it to other colleagues Formation of IHI Student Elective Subcommittee Syllabus Development Identification of Faculty to Become Course Directors Meet with Course Directors to Solidify Syllabus & Course Objectives Submit Electiveto Curriculum Committeefor Approval Course Directors Identify & Schedule Faculty to Lead Each Module FinalizeCourse Syllabus to Include Hands-on Learning IHI Student Subcommittee Manages Outreach to Recruit Students for Elective Students Provide Feedback to Faculty Regarding Elective Content Course Content Root Cause Analysis ProcessMapping Measures & Run Charts Human Factors Engineering The Second Victim Communication & Quality Simulation & Quality High Value Care
