Problem-Based Learning Discussion to Introduce Quality Improvement to Residents in the Perioperative Setting.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Quality improvement (QI) is a growing and critical part of perioperative medical practice. However, there are few examples of educational tools to introduce new learners from anesthesiology to QI. This may contribute to a lack of enthusiasm to learn about and apply these concepts.

Methods

This problem-based learning discussion (PBLD) was designed to teach anesthesiology residents about QI in a way allowing for the application of core concepts in a group setting. We created this PBLD using available literature on QI in the perioperative setting. Basic concepts and terminology necessary for new learners to communicate about QI were specifically addressed. Feedback from staff anesthesiologists and resident participants in the PBLD was used to tailor it to the needs
