The Power of Knowledge: Engaging Physicians in a Quality Learning Journey to Improve Care 

National Association of Healthcare Quality (NAHQ) is the national leader in advancing healthcare quality competencies in the workforce.  NAHQ developed the Workforce Accelerator program to improve the competency and consistency within the eight-competency framework.  One organization participated in the Workforce Accelerator program by investing in 24 leaders across their health system.  Of the participants, five physicians who held various roles and specialties within the organization were chosen.  Physicians were asked to complete the program on their own time and applied information learned specifically from the performance and process improvement domain to an organizational quality, safety strategic priority.  In this session, participants will learn of three physician stories that demonstrated a physician-led practice change on a high-risk medication, significant reduction in surgical site infections, and the implementation of a physician leader infrastructure.
