EIIC’s PMCHA Quality Improvement Collaborative
A quality improvement, or QI collaborative, provides a framework and structure for teams and their project work. Collaboratives bring together stakeholders from various groups for a specified period to address a specific topic. The EIIC’s focus for this collaborative is to create access to mental and behavioral health resources and services in emergency departments.
The collaborative will consist of the following materials and activities:
- quality improvement educational guide - a guide on quality improvement science that will help align PMHCA knowledge with healthcare QI methods for their ED expansion projects.
- large-group report-out sessions - teams will report on their projects to the PMHCA community (Feb. present identified project, project scope, and SMART aims - Sept. present implementation work and what was learned).
- focused working sessions - sessions will allow smaller groups to focus on specific aims, identify key drivers and interventions, and create strategies to overcome obstacles.
- 1:1 office hours with QI coaches and data analysts
