Description:

This webinar will highlight three recently completed HTC quality improvement (QI) projects focused on healthcare transition. Emily Valentino, Hemophilia Nursing Coordinator with the Bronson Hemophilia Treatment Center, will provide an overview of her HTC’s process of establishing a transition policy within the context of a larger institution, including the process of working with institution-wide policy staff and communicating the policy to patients and families. Zahara Jones, Clinical Research Coordinator with the UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals Oakland & San Francisco, will discuss her team’s efforts to create and improve a transition readiness assessment through Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles, building on staff and patient feedback to create a clear and useful assessment that will help to inform other aspects of the HTC’s transition approach. Lisa Cohen, Program Manager with the New Jersey Regional Hemophilia Program, will share about her HTC’s QI project focused on tracking and monitoring the delivery of the transition readiness assessment to transition-age patients, along with how the HTC team is iteratively refining the delivery of the transition readiness assessment to patient and the tracking of results.  Presenters will discuss the planning and implementation of their QI projects, challenges and successes, lessons learned, the benefits of the project for patents and/or HTC staff, and where they plan to take their QI efforts next.  This webinar is free and open to all HTC disciplines. Free CEUs are available. Please join us!
