In case you missed it, Dr. Mike Evans has a new illustrated video out — about the quality movement in health care. IHI collaborated with the Canadian family physician, famed for his dynamic whiteboard videos on a wide range of health topics, to help spread the word that improvement science can save lives. Mike Briddon, Senior Managing Editor for the Open School, writes about the video in a new blog post. Help us share the secret of quality improvement by using the video in your Chapter and sharing it with your colleagues.

At IHI, we believe in celebration. So that’s what we did when we read that health systems averted 50,000 deaths and saved $12 billion by reducing harm to patients between 2010 and 2013. CNBC reports that health systems have improved quality and safety by reducing pressure ulcers, hospital readmissions, and hospital-acquired infections. To the staff who made this possible, we offer our thanks and congratulations. If you’d like to learn more about patient safety and medical harm, take the Open School course PS 100: Introduction to Patient Safety.

The Telluride Patient Safety Student Summer Camps offer health science students and residents a five-day exploration of patient safety issues and risk reduction strategies to achieve optimal patient care. The 2015 summer camps — taking place in June and July in Napa, CA; Telluride, CO; and Washington, D.C. — serve as a one-of-a-kind learning environment encouraging attendees to think, feel, do, and share differently. They provide an opportunity to get to know and collaborate with global patient safety leaders. Admitted students will receive a full scholarship covering travel and accommodations. Admitted resident physicians must be sponsored by their program. Applications are due January 15; click here to apply.
