NICHQ Improving Hearing Screening & Intervention Systems (IHISIS) Learning Collaborative: Connecting Past Work with Present Work
Since 2005, the National Initiative for Children’s Healthcare Quality (NICHQ) in collaboration with the Maternal Child Health Bureau and National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management, have implemented four learning collaboratives to improve progress towards the 1-3-6 goals, reduce loss to follow-up, and strengthen systems and relationships between stakeholders. Thirty-six (36) teams (35 state teams, plus the District of Columbia) have participated, or are currently taking part, in a NICHQ hearing collaborative. Through the collaborative framework, teams learn from each others’ successes and failures. Using quality improvement methodology (the Model for Improvement), state teams test ideas on a small scale, eventually implementing successful ideas on a larger scale. This approach allows states some individualization of approaches related to their unique needs within their state.
Team members that took part in previous iterations of the hearing collaboratives (22 teams) will be invited to present a storyboard.
The session will be structured, and allow participants to interact in small groups, fostering discussion. Teams from previous collaboratives will learn about each others’ work post-collaborative. Teams currently engaged in collaborative work, or who will be engaged in the future, will learn from the successes and failures of their predecessors. To date, teams have had minimal opportunities to connect across collaboratives. During the session:
1) Dr Russ will open the session with an overview of each of the collaboratives to date, including overall goals and achievements.
2) Storyboard rounds: One team member will present their storyboard. Additional team members, and team members from the current iteration of the collaborative, will “round,” spending five minutes at each storyboard. Storyboards will address teams’ successes, failures, and learnings during their collaborative work; ongoing QI work post-collaborative; and how their work in the collaborative has changed their system and/or day-to-day work.
- Partipants will be able to identify activities based on quality improvement methodology that can be translated to a state EHDI program.
