  TGCAHQ - Effective Communication with Patients & Families

  DESCRIPTION:

  Effective Communication with Patients & Families is essential to strengthen clinicians’ communication skills to prevent harm and build stronger patient and family partnerships.

  LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Identify communication barriers that increase safety risk.
  • Apply briefs, huddles, SBAR, check-back, and CUS to common healthcare communication scenarios.
  • Use Ask-Tell-Ask and empathy statements during difficult conversations with patients and families.
  • Connect communication reliability to patient/family partnership and harm prevention.

  From Expert to Learner:  Building Better Solutions Through Curiosity
  

  Hosted by FAHQ | Presented to the Healthcare Quality Collaborative

  Successful quality improvement begins with understanding the problem before designing the solution. Too often, improvement initiatives are built on assumptions rather than a deep understanding of the challenges faced by those providing care. This presentation explores how adopting a learner mindset and engaging those closest to the work can lead to more accurate problem definition and, ultimately, better patient outcomes.
  

  Participants will examine how the context in which care is delivered has a profound impact on clinical practice, decision-making, and patient outcomes and how this context helps to identify root causes and system-level issues. Participants will recognize how shifting from the mindset of expert to learner allows them to engage the people closest to the work to uncover the realities that data alone cannot expose.

  Through practical examples, attendees will learn strategies to develop clear, context-informed problem statements that address the underlying causes of performance gaps rather than their symptoms. By grounding improvement efforts in the experiences of those closest to the work, organizations can design more effective, sustainable initiatives that improve quality, enhance patient safety, and achieve better outcomes.

  OVERVIEW

  Candida auris (C. auris) continues to emerge as a significant healthcare-associated pathogen, presenting complex challenges for hospitals, long-term care facilities, and healthcare systems nationwide. Its ability to spread within healthcare environments, persist on surfaces, and exhibit resistance to multiple antifungal medications makes early identification and effective prevention strategies critical to patient safety.

  This webinar will explore the evolving threat of Candida auris and the key challenges healthcare organizations face in detection, containment, reporting, and outbreak prevention. Attendees will learn how quality improvement methodologies can be leveraged to strengthen infection prevention programs, enhance interdisciplinary collaboration, improve surveillance efforts, and reduce the risk of transmission.

  Through practical examples and evidence-based strategies, participants will gain valuable insights into developing sustainable processes that support regulatory compliance, patient safety, and organizational readiness.
