In early December, Riley Summers, Gabriel Alain, and Jennifer Eramo traveled to Anaheim, California for the annual Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) conference. The goal of this conference is to bring together “Dedicated improvement professionals from across the globe convene to tackle health care's most pressing challenges: improvement capability, patient and workforce safety, equity, climate change, artificial intelligence, and more.”
Riley Summers presented current work on our Small Business Innovation Research funded project in partnership with SPIRIT Club. Her poster touched on the pilot design of a virtual platform created for chronic brain injury survivors. Specifically, it discussed the need for iterative design in the creation process, especially including stakeholders and participant’s input cyclically. This topic is especially prevalent in the field of healthcare improvement!
Gabriel Alain and Jennifer Eramo both presented data from our work with the Quality Improvement (QI) Hub. For this project, which is supported by the Ohio Department of Medicaid, the LIFT Lab serves as the primary site working to establish QI infrastructure and collaboration between six of Ohio various colleges of medicines.
