Barbara Baylins, MSN, RN

Attendees at McKnight’s Nov. 21 free webcast will learn valuable information about taking Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) programs from the merely theoretical to actual practice. When staff members participate in a QAPI Committee or are assigned to a Performance Improvement Project (PIP) team, they need to learn different skills for generating ideas, prioritizing problems, making decisions, working in teams and working with data and numbers. This webinar, which begins at 2 p.m. Eastern Time, will help do that. Barbara Baylis, MSN, RN, Accreditation Program Director for Providigm, will be the featured speaker.

Just a few of the learning objectives for attendees will be: learning the three fundamental questions to ask when seeking improvement, knowing the seven steps of the QAPI Model for Improvement; and identifying eight data analysis tools for working with data and numbers.

McKnight’s Editor James M. Berklan will moderate the session, which is being sponsored by Medline. For more on the webcast, including how to register, click here.
