IHI Meeting Overview - 4/7/09

Many thanks to those of you who were able to attend the IHI Open School meeting on Tuesday night! We received very positive feedback regarding our guest speaker and the interesting discussion that followed. Here is an article passed along to us from Dr. Talsma regarding "Why 'Quality' Care is Dangerous" : http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123914878625199185.html

For those of you who indicated that you would like to be involved with future projects, I will be passing on your names and anticipated time commitments to the folks at UMHS. I will let you know what occurs in terms of the potential negotiation process that may occur. If anyone else is interested in being involved with some hands-on projects in the fall, we are working on determining the possibilities for extra-curricular involvement. Please send me your estimated time commitment per week for next fall, skills and/or interests and I will include these with my correspondence to the IPCE project administrators.

Thank you again for your support and attendance this year. We look forward to an exciting fall semester with enhanced participation and collaboration from a variety of health professions' schools!
