Transcript of Institute for Healthcare Improvement: Ottawa Chapter 2… · Gabon, in preparation of Albert...
Background
• In early 2011, Tyler Kaster approached Dr.
Sherissa Microys to be a faculty mentor
for the IHI Ottawa Chapter Interest Group
• By summer 2011, organization was
officially chartered by the University of
Ottawa medical student society, and
group to be run initially by Tyler Kaster
and Ryan Kelly
• This chapter was created because
University of Ottawa Undergraduate
Medical Program has limited didactic
Patient Safety (PS) and Quality
Improvement (QI) education, and no
interactive opportunities
• Our last storyboard left off from May 2012
Membership
• Medical Students
Chapter Leadership
• Tyler Kaster & Ryan Kelly (2011-2012)
• Rita Hafizi & Jemy Joseph (2012-2013)
• John Vlassov & Adrian Tsang (2013-2014)
Faculty Advisors
• Dr. Sherissa Microys
• Dr. Amy Nakajima (new 2012)

MORE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• Since the establishment of the IHI Interest Group,
many medical students have taken up a number of PS
& QI projects.
• This fall 2013, University of Ottawa medical students
shared their PS & QI work both locally and abroad
such as The 9th Annual Ottawa Hospital Patient
Safety Conference and 5th Annual University of
Toronto Centre for Quality Improvement and Patient
Safety Symposium
Fig. 1 Jemy Joseph at WHO Headquarters
• Jemy’s experience with PS & QI projects:
“This summer, I had the incredible privilege of
doing an internship at the World Health
organization (WHO) headquarters in Geneva,
Switzerland. My projects were housed under the
Department of Patient Safety, within a program
called ‘African Partnerships for Patient Safety’
(APPS). APPS help establish patient safety
partnerships as a precondition to improving fragile
health systems, between hospitals in developed
countries and hospitals in Africa. I did in-depth
research on Canadian health institutions that are
interested in international partnerships, and had
some opportunities to meet with potential
Canadian collaborators.”
“My second project involved producing a
comprehensive report on the healthcare system of
Gabon, in preparation of Albert Schweitzer
Hospital Centennial Celebration, where several
reforms to improve the Gabon healthcare system
was discussed. Finally, I participated in number of
smaller projects that involved researching, writing
reports, exploring reverse innovations, examining
interface between international organizations and
doing investigative journalism.”
“All the above made my internship a once in a
lifetime experience that I will always cherish as a
turning point in my life.”
• Rita Hafizi’s experience with PS & QI project:
“The ASPIRE survey had a ~25% response rate. I
will be compiling the data soon, but most of the
feedback was positive. The only main suggestion
was to provide the resources (especially the
ASPIRE binder) online.”
• Yue Jiang’s experience with QI project:
"I have participated in a quality improvement
project regarding the minimization of patient
restraints and code whites in psychiatric
emergency services as well as a patient safety
project for patients with respiratory distress in the
emergency department. It was a great experience
working in teams from literature review to patient
interviewing and from chart review to data
analysis. The former project has completed the
background information gathering stage and is
ready to test out proposed interventions; the latter
project is complete and recently published."

Undergraduate Medical Education Summer
Studentship Poster Day
• Hoang’s experience with PS project:
“My project in PS education in Canadian
Undergraduate Medical Education with Drs.
Microys & Nakajima has been awesome! I really
enjoy collaborating with the patient safety
education research community—there is so much
positive energy. ”
“Preliminary results have stirred quite a bit of
interests both at home and other schools &
hospitals.”
“I have found that my background in patient safety
has and will continue to serve me well in any field
of medicine and patient care.”

Hospital Patient Safety Conference
• Natasha’s experience with PS projects:
“For the past two years I have been a member of
Dr. Calder's research program, focusing on
patient safety in the Emergency Department. I
have found my research experience to be
incredibly rewarding and eye-opening.”
“For instance, I hve become more aware of factors
that can negatively impact a patient's
management (for instance, handover, diagnostic
momentum, and anchoring bias).”
“The project that I am currently involved with is
looking to see if follow-up of high acuity
Emergency Department patient decreases the
amount of adverse events (poor outcomes due to
health care management). We are planning to
present our findings at CAEP and to submit a
manuscript to BMJ Patient Safety.”
“I find medical students could benefit from further
training with regards to patient safety. Exposure
early on in our training could help shape our
medical practice and clinical skills for the better.” CHALLENGES
• Time burden on only a few faculty
members to provide information on PS &
QI
• Competing educational demands of
medical students
• Faculty recognition and financial support
to fund educational efforts and projects
