Preventing Venous Thromboembolism – Delta Day – In Person Event

January 13, 2020 @ 8:30 am - 3:00 pm

A DELTA Day is WSHA’s most intensive training to develop skills and knowledge required to immediately implement safety and quality programs.

  • Design, Engage, Learn to Accelerate! DELTA = Change. We want these events to accelerate change; to be of value to your patients and communities.
  • It is a collaborative, front-line improvement workshop, focusing on shared learning and rapid cycle improvement.
  • There will be practical tools and resources ready for implementation of a VTE pilot at your setting.
  • This will be a fun and engaging atmosphere to work in! Teams are encouraged to attend.
  • Follow up ACCELERATE webinar work groups will take place in the three months following, to support collaboration and implementation.
    • During this time, teams will provide updates on how their pilot planning is going and receive feedback from the group and the subject matter expert.

 Who should attend?

  • Hospitalists, surgeons, pharmacists, nurses, quality leaders and IT support.
  • Any stake holders in the process of VTE prevention at your hospital setting.
  • A TEAM – please have at least 3 people from your hospital come together to this event.
  • The goal is for a total of 6 hospital teams at this implementation-focused event, with about 5 people per hospital team (give or take).

What is the timeline?

  • January 13th: in person DELTA Day in Seattle, WA
  • February 12th: Accelerate Webinar Work Group for rapid-fire implementation coaching and collaboration (1 hour)
  • March 18th: Accelerate Webinar Work Group for rapid-fire implementation coaching and collaboration (1 hour)
  • April 20th: Accelerate Webinar Work Group for rapid-fire implementation coaching and collaboration (1 hour)

 Why is my hospital invited?

  • WSHA is first offering this resource and event to hospitals most contributing to the VTE rate in our region.
  • Your hospital is getting the first chance to sign up before we are at capacity.

What do I need to do next if my hospital is ready to reduce harm and death caused by VTE?

  • Have the Commitment Letter reviewed by your C-suite, signed and sent back. This ensures your team knows they have the green light to pursue this important work.
  • Register ASAP! Our DELTA Days have been filling quickly and have received incredibly positive reviews from hospital members. They are interactive and leave members with a work plan to accelerate the work, rather than just a brain full of new information.
    • We will be capping registration once the room is at capacity.
    • Note you will have to pick a lunch option before moving onto finish the registration.

 

Dr. Scott Kaatz, DO, MSc, FACP SFHM, will be our subject matter expert – facilitating this interactive event.

  • Dr. Kaatz is the President of the Anticoagulation Forum and Clinical Associate Professor at Wayne State University and a Hospitalist at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.
  • Dr. Kaatz is the Medical Director for Professional development and Research in the Division of Hospital Medicine.
  • Dr. Kaatz is a very engaging and passionate leader in VTE prevention and anticoagulation stewardship and will be providing short learning sessions, followed by rapid-fire implementation coaching targeted to your hospitals needs – both during the event and during the follow up webinars.
