Is QI as easy as Pii? Harnessing Quality Improvement in Family Medicine

12:00pm ET - 1:00pm ET

The College of Family Physicians of Canada’s (CFPC) newly launched Practice Improvement Initiative (Pii) harnesses quality improvement (QI) approaches, practice-level data, and research to enable family physicians, family medicine residents, and the teams they work in to undertake QI. Pii aims to leverage, scale-up, and share existing QI resources and create new ones where there are gaps. On Wednesday, September 4th, we will be joined by Dr. José Pereira, Director of Research in Academic Family Medicine, CFPC to hear more about the Pii program as well as explore how family physicians could earn Mainpro+ credits for implementing quality improvement in their practices.

Addressing Patient Requests for Unnecessary Care: The Art of Conversation

12:00pm EST - 1:00pm EST

There are other patients in the waiting room and you’re already behind. What do you do? Can you communicate the message that imaging is not needed, build trust, and stay on time?
