The UT team collaborates during the Summer Regional Learning Sessions.

TIPQC Summer Regional Learning Sessions

The TIPQC Regional Learning Sessions concluded on June 17. Over 147 participants in all 5 perinatal regions heard updates on state-wide TIPQC projects, shared lessons learned from local project experience, and learned new reflective quality improvement tools to accelerate their QI work. For additional information see: http://tipqc.org/meetings/regional-meetings/.

Team-Based Reflection Tools

Reflection is an important tool in quality improvement. Individuals and teams can employ reflective strategies to build awareness and develop strategies for improvement, regardless if this is a new project or a project in sustainment. Through the work of the Vermont Oxford Network – NICQ7, and shared by permission, a team-based reflective tool focusing on Personal, Social, and Structural changes can help guide teams and individuals as they strive to motivate and enable improvement. During the Summer Regional Learning Sessions, teams found invaluable insights as well as potential “opportunities for improvement” as they brainstormed and strategized through this series of reflective questions.
