Day 1: This day will take participants through an immersive hands-on experience, including the basic structure of quality improvement and patient safety in EMS. The aim of the day is to build the framework for an improvement project in your system using workshop and small group format. This is appropriate for individuals who are starting their improvement learning or working to create a foundation for quality improvement within their organization. Prerequisite for NAEMSP Quality and Safety Year-Long Course 2022.

Day 2 – ADVANCED QUALITY IMPROVEMENT: Designed to build on the topics of Day 1, Day 2’s Advanced Quality Improvement program is designed for individuals who have at least some experience in quality improvement, as well as those seeking a forum to support the improvement work they are doing in their own system. Faculty will guide participants through prior projects and case studies to highlight challenges and lessons learned regarding data, leading change, project management, and more. Day 1 is NOT a prerequisite, but is encouraged. This course or another Quality and Safety Course is a prerequisite for participation in the year-long NAEMSP Quality and Safety Course.
