Executive Series

In response to continued requests from senior leaders, educators and colleagues in health care who want to learn more about clinical microsystem theory and application in health care delivery systems, we announce a new Executive Learning Series.

Aim
Provide a dynamic, interactive web-based series to introduce the theory of clinical microsystems using the bestselling book Quality by Design and the newly released Value By Design (January 2011). Discussions and exploration will occur in these sessions to determine how this field-tested body of knowledge can advance organization improvement strategies, engagement of interdisciplinary front line groups and transformation.

Audience
Any health care professional, leaders and educators interested in learning and exploring how clinical microsystem theory, strategies, and programs can contribute to successful strategic improvements and educational programs.

Quality By Design and Value By Design are required for this series and can be purchased through Amazon for your convenience.

Registration Fee and Deadline: $349.00 by January 15, 2012
Includes four 90 minute interactive web session discussions about the two books and the field applications of the knowledge with authors. Immediately following the web session LIVE CHAT will be available to continue the discussion until 1pm. Additional resources will be described about non-degree programs and graduate courses at The Dartmouth Institute to develop individual/organizational strategies. Register now.
