Registration is open for the MHA Keystone Center Patient Safety Organization (PSO) Virtual Care Safe Table in partnership with Henry Ford Health. The event will take place from 12:30 to 4 p.m. Dec. 3 at the MHA Headquarters in Okemos.
The safe table will introduce virtual care in the healthcare setting and discuss how organizations can use this model to support patient safety through proactive monitoring and early identification of patient deterioration, which can lead to faster clinical interventions and help reduce code blue events. The session will also highlight how virtual care can support bedside teams by completing tasks such as documentation and patient education, allowing in-person staff to remain focused on direct patient care. Examples of improved efficiency and care coordination will be shared throughout the discussion.
At the end of the program, attendees will be able to:
- Identify opportunities to leverage virtual care to improve healthcare quality and safety.
- Understand how to coordinate with IT teams to protect data during virtual care activities.
- Describe methods to maintain safety and quality standards in both in-person and virtual settings.
- Develop and sustain standardized nursing workflows for virtual care that align with organizational needs.
The safe table is free of charge for MHA Keystone PSO members and lunch is provided.
Chief quality officers, chief safety officers, chief nursing officers, chief medical officers, vice presidents of quality, safety and risk, vice presidents of clinical transformation, directors of quality improvement and directors or managers of patient safety and performance improvement are encouraged to register.
Nursing education credits are being pursued.
