What is PQI Level 2 Training?
Supported by the Specialist Services Committee's Physician Quality Improvement (PQI) initiative, the PQI Level 2 workshop provides physicians with hands-on opportunities to build fundamental QI skills that can be applied to practice settings.
This training focuses on creating QI capacity, connecting with colleagues, and contributing to a culture of QI in our health system. The PQI curriculum was specifically designed by physicians, for physicians to give you tools you can apply in real time.
Why is it important for Community-Based Specialists (CBS)?
PQI training is essential for CBS physicians as it equips them with the skills to enhance patient care within their unique practice settings. For CBS physicians, QI training can:
Enhance Patient Outcomes: Implementing QI strategies helps CBS physicians identify inefficiencies, reduce errors, and streamline processes, directly leading to better patient outcomes.
Empower Physicians: QI training empowers CBS physicians to take ownership of their practice improvements, fostering a proactive approach to problem-solving and innovation.
Foster Collaboration: QI initiatives can strengthen collaboration among specialists across different regions, creating a supportive network that shares best practices and successful strategies.
Supportive Provincial Work: By engaging in QI, specialist sections can address provincial health care goals more effectively, contributing to a cohesive, high-performing health care system.
Optimize Resources: Learning to implement QI with limited resources highlights how small, incremental changes can have significant impacts, making it highly relevant for community settings.
