1 Canadian AMI Virtual Learning Collaborative Information Call May 31-2010

2 What is a Virtual Learning Collaborative A VLC creates a learning network for healthcare professionals focused on a specific improvement project within a defined timeframe and learning structure. It consists of a series of Virtual Learning Sessions, Action Periods, and WebEx Calls.

3 Advantages of VLC Achieve similar results at a reduced cost while improving access to participants Knowledge transfer and spread of change concepts parallel to traditional BTS Boushon, B., Provost, L., Gagnon, J. &Carver P. (2006)

4 Model For Improvement * A simple yet powerful tool for accelerating improvement The model has been used very successfully by hundreds of health care organizations in many countries to improve many different health care processes and outcomes *Langley GL, Nolan KM, Nolan TW, Norman CL, Provost LP **The Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle was developed by W. E. Deming

5 Principles of a Learning Collaborative The Model for Improvement is used to accelerate movement between knowing and doing Everyone Teaches; Everyone Learns The Learning Sessions are preparation for the Action Periods

6 Principles of a Learning Collaborative Active participation by all teams enrolled; provides more value in the Learning Sessions Monthly reporting and use of data is fundamental to improvement work

7 Why an AMI VL Collaborative? Time is muscle (myocardium) 44% to 70%, with an average of 62% of AMI patients who received thrombolytics had this myocardium-saving treatment delivered within 30 minutes of hospital arrival. Methodology has been used to effectively introduce numerous changes within healthcare settings

8 AIM Canadian Emergency Departments ensure 90% of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients (STEMI or new LBBB only) receive thrombolytic therapy within 30 minutes or less of hospital arrival

9 Measures in the AMI VLC % STEMI or new LBBB who received thrombolytic within 30 minutes of arrival at ED. % STEMI or new LBBB who received an ECG within 10 minutes of arrival at ED.

10 Baseline Data Expectations Baseline data should be submitted to the CMT by July 31-2010 Sample Size –Minimum = 6 patients –Maximum = 10 patients
