Let's get back to the basics of quality improvement. We've developed a bundle of helpful videos and podcasts centered on QI basics like the PDSA method and root cause analysis. Dive in and share with your team!
Antipsychotic Use and Gradual Dose Reduction Strategies
Jonathon Pouliot, Qsource’s Consultant Pharmacist, and Martin Serene, Behavioral Health FNP-BC discuss Antipsychotic Use and Gradual Dose Reduction Strategies with participants at the Culture of Safety Center Annual Summit.
Competency-Based Training, Education, and Development
Qsource believes that anyone who provides healthcare services cannot afford to waste time learning lessons that are not important in the context of patient work.
Training, education, and development that utilizes a competency-based approach provides a more flexible learning environment for employees and focuses on improving their skills in a particular area. Rather than covering the depth of a subject in a one-size-fits-all style, it works to develop specific skills.
