AQuSI

We are very pleased to announce that the Brazilian Association of Medical Physics (ABFM) has invited AQuSI to present its Minimizing Errors, Maximizing Quality Workshop in beautiful, vibrant Sao Paulo, Brazil!

This two-day, extremely interactive workshop is designed to equip participants with the tools and skills required to develop and implement effective, efficient quality and safety programs.

Registration for the workshop is being handled directly by the ABFM. Please contact Laura Furnari (laurafurnari@hotmail.com) for registration details.

Maintaining a quality and safety program is a big job. Starting one from scratch is downright daunting. The goal of our Quality Improvement ToolBox is to get you started as quickly and painlessly as possible.

The Quality Improvement ToolBox is a suite of online tools that provide easily interpreted, institution-specific results that can be put into action immediately.

If you're implementing a new technique, our process maps can provide a solid footing for your roll-out plans. If you're looking for proactive risk reduction strategies, our Flexible FMEA walks you through the analysis, step by step.

The Quality Improvement ToolBox will be available, free to the world, in early 2012.

Our intensive, extremely interactive, 2-day workshops provide individuals with the skills and materials required to implement effective, efficient quality and safety programs within their own organizations. These programs help to reduce the likelihood of errors, improve learning from errors that do occur, and ultimately lead to better care for patients.

When you come to one of our workshops you learn how to implement effective, efficient quality and safety programs. When you leave one of our workshops you'll take with you electronic versions of all the course material, including presentation slides, exercises, and notes for instructors.

Minimizing Errors, Maximizing Quality workshops are AAPM endorsed, and CAMPEP and MDCB accredited.

Developed and presented by recognized experts in the fields of quality and error management, the workshops introduce the following concepts:

• Human Factors
• Preventive Measures
• Incident Learning
• Root Cause Analysis
• Failure Modes and Effects Analysis
• Fault Tree Analysis
• Process Control
• Quality Management

With electronic versions of all the course material, you're not empty handed when you return to your clinic. Not only will you be able to implement an effective, efficient quality and safety program, you'll also be able to run the entire course, as is, for your colleagues.

Our online Introduction to Error Management course is now available free of charge!

The course consists of four modules, each comprised of two fifteen minute presentations, and two multiple-choice quizzes.

• Overview
• Human Factors
• Error Management Techniques
• Quality and Safety

iPhone and iPad compatible versions available, so you can view course presentations anytime, anywhere!
