1 hour sessional plus up to $30 (lunch) / $50 (dinner) per participant. Requires representative attendance from participating departments/ divisions. This cannot be used for rounds, CME, or journal clubs.
Meetings between groups of doctors from different departments can provide different perspectives on shared issues, and can form new and stronger connections among the medical staff. We want to support these conversations to improve the care of shared patients, define best practices, revisit protocols, streamline workflows, and create efficiencies.
What could it look like?
Two departments who work closely together have noticed challenges due to recent protocol changes. They meet to discuss how to better adapt their shared work to the mandate.
A particular patient brings together physicians from 5 different divisions, exposing challenges in providing coordinated care to this patient. They meet to determine how to better streamline their teams’ workflows next time.
A division anticipates needing to work more closely with another because of a new procedure. Representatives from each team meet to determine what that could look like.
How does it work?
