Workshops

You have the opportunity to attend one skill building workshop during the session. Please see descriptions below and indicate your 1st and 2nd choices during registration:

Workshop 1: Engaging Patients in Self-Management

Presenters: Kate Lorig, Dr.P.H. and Virginia González, MPH, Self-Management Resource Center

Workshop Description:  Patient self-management programs help people and their caregivers manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and reduce healthcare costs. In this workshop, participants will learn how to integrate or partner with evidence-based self-management programs for patients with hypertension and diabetes.

Suggested Audience:  Program managers/directors and care team members focused on chronic disease management

WORKSHOP 2:  USING HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN TO BRING PATIENT VOICE TO IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS

Presenters: Diana Nguyen, Center for Care Innovations and Jennifer Covin, MPH, Health Quality Partners

Workshop Description:  Human-centered design (HCD, or design thinking) is an approach to problem solving that is rooted in understanding people’s needs and experiences. This workshop will provide an introduction to the practice of “co-design,” wherein the stakeholders affected by the problem – patients in this case – play a pivotal role in co-creating services, programs, and improvement efforts. Participants will learn about examples of how safety net providers have successfully used HCD to co-design with patients, including co-designing a Self-Measured Blood Pressure program.

Suggested Audience:  Beginner or new to Human-Centered Design

Workshop 3: Change Ideas for Patient Engagement

Presenter: Denise Armstorff, Performance Improvement Expert, Master Coach, & Trainer

Workshop Description: In this workshop, participants will develop the plans to tests of change ideas for patient engagement in their PHASE projects.  Individuals participating in this workshop will have selected an idea, developed the plan portion of a PDSA, and considered multiple iterations of the test.

Intended Audience:  PHASE team leads, QI team members, and others wanting a QI introduction or refresher. *It is recommended that each PHASE team sends at least one person to this workshop*
