GRAND ROUNDS AUDIO CONFERENCE SERIES: 2023 Back to the Basics and Fast Forward to the Future
Please join us for Grand Rounds 2023! Twelve audio conferences spread over the course of the year, with the goal of providing focused, manageable bites of education for Medical Staff leaders and those who support them. This year’s series has been designed with two goals in mind. First, a number of “Back to the Basics” segments will provide a foundation for those who may have missed out on comprehensive leadership training over the past few years due to circumstances out of their control (Pandemics! Full EDs! Full ICUs! Staff shortages! Travel restrictions!). We know from experience that an excellent Medical Staff culture is built on the backs of leaders who are well-prepared and supported in their roles. So, it’s important for the full leadership team to receive “basic training” from the get-go. It’s the keystone for many years of successful (dare we say, fulfilling?) leadership to come. If some or all of your leaders have fallen behind on their training – or could simply use a refresher on the tools of the trade for effective Medical Staff leadership – the “Back to the Basics” segments should be just the thing! The 2023 Grand Rounds series also includes a number of “Fast Forward to the Future” segments dedicated to current events, hot topics, and the evolution of the hospital Medical Staff. After all, even during tough times, we know that MSSPs, CMOs, Chiefs of Staff, and other members of the primary leadership team are looking to make progress. Time for a Medical Staff Bylaws update? The August installment of Grand Rounds will provide suggestions for new and revised Bylaws language, based on the many lessons we learn throughout the year as a result of our ongoing work with numerous Medical Staffs (and we’ll throw in some discussion of legal and accreditation changes too!). Also keep an eye on the June 2023 installment of Grand Rounds, where we will discuss the rapid evolution of Advanced Practice Clinicians (generally, advanced practice nurses and PAs), honing in on the wide range of methods we see employed across the country to address the appropriate scope of practice for APCs within an acute care environment, the supervision and collaboration requirements and monitoring, upskilling and “on the job training” efforts, the Joint Commission’s revised use of terminology for LIPs, and more. The 2023 lineup includes:- January 10: Back to the Basics: The First 31 Days in Office
- February 7: Back to the Basics: Why (and How) Do We Credential?
