Summary
A virtual quality improvement seminar trained geriatric leaders. Most participants pursued projects, with some leading to presentations and improved patient care.
Area of Science:
- Geriatric Medicine
- Healthcare Quality Improvement
- Leadership Development
Background:
- Emerging leaders in geriatrics require training in quality improvement (QI) science.
- The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Model for Improvement provides a framework for QI initiatives.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the development and delivery of a virtual QI seminar for emerging geriatric leaders.
- To evaluate the seminar's impact on participants' engagement in QI projects and perceived usefulness of the training.
Main Methods:
- A six-session, synchronous virtual QI seminar using a flipped classroom model was implemented over three cohorts (2022-2024).
- Content was refined based on formative evaluations.
- Summative evaluation included participant feedback on usefulness and project outcomes.
Main Results:
- Of 23 respondents in year three, 60.8% pursued a QI project (21.7% completed, 39.1% in progress).
- 21.7% of participants had presentations or publications related to their projects.
- Participants found seminar topics and tools useful, particularly aims statements and project planning tools.
- 82.6% reported current use and 91.3% future use of seminar information.
- 60.8% believed their projects improved patient care.
Conclusions:
- A virtual QI seminar for interprofessional emerging geriatric leaders was well-received.
- The seminar may facilitate the dissemination of scholarly work and enhance patient care in geriatrics.

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

4.4K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Learning to draw Fischer projections of molecules and understanding their relevance plays a crucial role in the visual depiction of organic molecules. A Fischer projection is a two-dimensional projection on a planar surface to simplify the three-dimensional wedge–dash representation of molecules. This is especially helpful in the case of molecules with multiple chiral centers that can be difficult to draw. Here, all the bonds of interest are represented as horizontal or vertical lines. While...

As leveling involves measuring vertical distances relative to a horizontal line of sight, it requires a graduated rod, called a level rod, for vertical measurements and an instrument called a level for a horizontal sight line. A level includes a high-powered telescope with a mechanism for leveling to ensure the line of sight is horizontal when the bubble in the spirit level is centered. Leveling rods, made of wood, metal, or fiberglass, are graduated in feet or meters and commonly used in two-...
