Team Development


team jersey The Institute for Healthcare Improvement has several one our tutorials that will jumpstart your work and help your team begin to develop a common language for improvement work. I recommend that half of your team watch "An introduction to a Model for Improvement" and the other half watch "Using run and control charts to Understand Variation" available from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. This will be valuable information as we begin to test potentially better practices after the January Learning sessions.
 
 On Demand: An Introduction to the Model for Improvement: This presentation features Robert Lloyd, PhD, who provides a comprehensive introduction to the Model for Improvement - a simple, yet powerful tool for bringing about rapid, significant improvements in care. 

On Demand: Using Run and Control Charts to Understand Variation: This presentation features Robert Lloyd, PhD, who will overview two fundamental tools for understanding variation - the run chart and Shewhart control charts.
