The most successful healthcare organizations use a series of powerful quality improvement tools to drive their patient safety and accreditation processes.  This year’s Chicago Practicum will train participants to use specific and practical tools to build more robust, patient-safe organizations.  Join JCI’s expert faculty, as they lead small workshops, lectures, and discussions that will train you to use these tools in your organization.  This year's Chicago Practicum will teach participants how to:

 

 

 

See Hidden Waste, Danger, and Inefficiency

Learn how Process Mapping will help you easily see the inefficiency, waste, and danger in any existing processes, as well as how a few small changes can make a profound impact.

Learn from your Patient’s Experience

Discover how to use JCI’s tracer methodology to assess compliance with accreditation standards, as well as to discover hidden threats to patient safety.  A portion of this session will be taught within accredited US healthcare facilities.

 

Discover the Most Efficient Way to Deploy Your Resources

Learn how to use a Root Cause Analysis to efficiently target resources and mitigate existing patient safety risks.

 

Use Data Driven Decision Making

Learn how to select and collect clinical indicator data which guides the data-driven decisions that you can use to train staff, create better policies and procedures, and ultimately impact patient-safe care.

 

Correct Threats and Failures Before They Happen

Explore how Failure Mode Effects Analysis can help uncover threats to patient safety before they occur. 

 

In addition, this course will also discuss the most challenging JCI standards and presentations by JCI accredited organizations.  Because of this program's workshop and small group format, enrollment will be strictly limited to 60 registrants.

JCI’s hosting hotel, The Knickerbocker , is one of the finest hotels in the city.   It is steps away from the world-class shopping, dining, and entertainment, as well as Chicago’s dramatic lakefront.  Although recent renovations give this hotel a modern and luxurious feel, it still boasts a rich history that includes Al Capone, one of Chicago’s most infamous residents.

JCI is pleased to offer a discounted hotel rate of 229.00 USD per night. To reserve your room at this special rate, please contact the Knickerbocker through their website or by telephone (+1 312-751-8100), and mention that you are part of JCI’s International Practicum room block.
