Community Health Services QI Celebration

 20th November 2018

Each directorate in ELFT has had the privilege of spending some time with our partners from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) during their annual visit to ELFT in 2018. Words by Nynn Chang, Improvement Advisor.

This year was a very special one for Community Health Services. It was the first time we hosted a joint QI event across Bedfordshire, Newham and Tower Hamlets community health services and we had an impressive turnout of over 60 people who attended on the day from the three localities! It was a delight to connect with staff, clinical commissioners, service users and carers on the day. Dr Trissa Torres, from the IHI, also gave a talk on how to tackle ELFT’s new mission on population health – ‘To improve the quality of life for all we serve’ – via the Triple Aim approach.

To find out more about what happened on the day, or to simply re-live the energy of the event, we have captured it for you in the video below. We hope you will enjoy watching it as much as we did taking part on the celebration day, and we hope to see you at our next joint QI event!
