Webinar series: COVID-19 Through a Quality Lens: Critical care – Emerging networks and tools to improve care

Presenters:

• Hussein Kanji: Clinical Lead, Critical Care, BC Patient Safety & Quality Council; and Medical Director, High Acuity Unit, Vancouver General Hospital
• Ben Ridout: Director, Analytics & Strategic Initiatives, BC Patient Safety & Quality Council

Description: The emergence of COVID-19 in BC forced intensive care units across the province to quickly plan for and adapt to an anticipated surge in cases. By overcoming traditional silos and utilizing a provincially coordinated response to this pandemic, mortality related to COVID-19 in critically ill patients in BC is dramatically lower (15.4%1) than other global studies have shown (up to 26% in some jurisdictions1). The development of a new network to facilitate rapid clinical sharing and the creation of a COVID-19 monitoring tool to guide decision-making are two strategic approaches that have contributed to improved clinical outcomes.

In this webinar you will learn how:

• Provincial collaboration improved the critical care response to COVID-19
• A common purpose helped overcome traditional silos and establish new partnerships
• Open sharing of information improved clinical practice and the availability of resources
