Transforming the House! A Method of Quality Improvement

Discover a fresh approach to quality improvement in this insightful webinar presented by Crystal Heishman, Thomas Pettrey, Allison Janbakhsh, and Sandy Meyers.

This session will delve into the "Transformation House" methodology, a robust Quality Improvement (QI) method being actively utilized by the presenters. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of how this approach can be applied to drive significant improvements within their own organizations.

The webinar will also provide an in-depth explanation of Training Within Industry (TWI), highlighting its fundamental principles and its synergistic relationship with the Transformation House methodology. Learn how TWI's structured techniques can empower teams and foster efficient processes, ultimately contributing to a culture of continuous improvement.

To solidify these concepts, the presenters will walk through a real-world project example, demonstrating the practical application of both the Transformation House methodology and TWI in achieving tangible quality improvements. This will offer valuable insights into implementation strategies and potential outcomes.

Join us to learn how to methodically "transform your house" and achieve lasting quality improvements.

This presentation is for those working in quality improvement, nursing, and healthcare leadership.
