Mission in Action: ECRI Delivering Quality Healthcare in Remote Areas of Panama

Описание: ECRI provided medical care to communities in a remote region of Panama by teaming up with Floating Doctors, an organization that establishes mobile clinics run by trained healthcare professionals to offer free acute and preventative medical and dental services in areas with limited access to medical care. ECRI provided real-time recommendations to improve the safety and quality of care in-the-field, plus a detailed report of strategies the Floating Doctors team can execute over time to enhance the delivery of care to underserved communities.

Watch this video to hear from a few of ECRI’s safety experts about how they mobilized to bring the organization’s mission to life through hands-on, field-based work, with takeaways that are relevant and timely across all care settings in the healthcare industry. The ECRI team included: Shannon Davila, MSN, RN, CPPS, CIC, CPHQ, FAPIC (ECRI’s Executive Director of Total Systems Safety), Rita Jew (President of ISMP), Dr. Marcus Schabacker (ECRI President and CEO), and Julie Thomas, MSN, RN, HEM, CPPS, a-IPC (ECRI Patient Safety Analyst).
