DRAFT ARTICLE #2 FOR COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS’ PUBLICATIONS Pennsylvania Patient Safety Collaborative and (insert your organization’s name here) Developing “Cultures of Safety” The work of the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Collaborative (PPSC) continues. The PPSC held its second annual meeting on October 2 at HAP. Forty-three members representing the Collaborative's twenty-four partners attended the meeting where the recent activities of the Collaborative's four work groups were shared. Some highlights: Leadership Development and Cultural Change Work Group The Leadership Development and Cultural Change Work Group has developed the Collaborative’s vision and mission statements. In addition, they proposed a short-term and long-term work plan. Since the last meeting of the PPSC, the work group has completed work on several of these goals including: Holding regional forums on safety involving consumers and other stakeholders. Development of a case statement for health care leaders that appeals to organizational core values, public perception, and system and process efficiencies brought to organizations focused on patient safety and the improvement in employee and patient satisfaction brought to organizations focused on patient safety. Identification development of the elements of, and barriers to, a culture of safety necessary within health care organizations and society at large, to implement successful patient safety programs.

Highlights of United Nations collaborative activities in support of national development objectives and priorities 1.4 Highlights of United Nations collaborative activities in support of national development objectives and priorities Some of the highlights of collaborative initiatives undertaken in 1999 are: a) Integrated implementation of follow-up to global United Nations conferences 1999 brought about a strengthened partnership between the UN System and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation by beginning to establish structures for conference and convention reporting and follow-up. Building on the 1998 UN inventory on Mozambique’s participation and follow-up to global conventions and conferences, the Ministry created an ad hoc inter-ministerial working group which together with the UN formulated the terms of reference for a group of consultants to: update the inventory; prepare a comprehensive compilation of legal instruments and means which support convention implementation and; guidelines for Government follow-up, monitoring and reporting to be eventually approved by the Council of Ministers.  The National Institute of Statistics has membership on this working group and will hopefully play a key role in standardising reported statistics related to national indicators. NGOs were also invited to participate in this year’s compilation of conference recommendation related activities. The linkage between the UN System and a coordinating body of national and international NGOs has resulted in NGO activity inclusion in the 1999 inventory. The exact role of NGOs and civil society in such efforts will be laid out in the national guidelines approved by Government.

Performance Report MHA's Maine Quality and Patient Safety Collaborative Over the past year MHA has kicked-off two major new initiatives designed to improve quality, patient safety and patient-caregiver communications in hospitals across the state. MHA Medication Safety Project In 1999 Maine's hospitals began taking part in MHA's Medication Safety Project. This initiative is designed to address the most common form of medical errors in hospitals: mistakes surrounding the dispensing of medication. Using detailed information gathered from highly experienced physicians, pharmacists and registered nurses will develop a series of process improvement and training recommendations aimed at helping hospitals reduce medication errors. MHA- Picker Institute Improving the Patient's Hospital Experience Project By late 2000, hospitals throughout Maine will begin using a uniform approach to measuring and improving patients' overall hospital experience. Using standardized surveys, hospitals across Maine will ask patients detailed questions about the care they recently received in hospitals. Comparative data will then be shared by hospitals toward the goal of using "best practices" to improve quality. Beside caregivers also will be trained in how to improve their communications with patients and their families. Both the survey and the training will take place in close cooperation with the respected Boston-based Picker Institute.

A proposed scheme for the development of the European Young Citizens Award - brief details only given here. No set start date - a lot of work has to be carried out first! NOW UNDER FURTHER DEVELOPMENT - ALL VIEWS AND IDEAS MOST WELCOME European Young Citizens Award Scheme Rationale: What does it mean to be a European Citizen? At a basic definition level, it is simply being a member of the European Union of States; but at a higher level it involves ideals of democracy, rights, responsibilities, individual participation and collaborative action for a better society. This Scheme aims to provide guidance to young children (7-12) as to how they may participate as young European citizens in a way that is meaningful and relevant to them. A Brief Outline Of The Scheme : The European Young Citizens Award scheme is a dynamic programme of activities for children aged 7 to 12. It is structured to develop progression and quality of achievement - each of the 5 levels sets a greater challenge. Direct, positive involvement is pursued through both individual and collaborative initiatives. There are no ‘losers’ in the scheme - all children will be able to gain an award, but greater effort and improvement of skills is recognised. The scheme can link directly to local and national activities, indeed this is encouraged. Involvement in the scheme is open to schools and youth organisations.

What Is the Collaborative Classroom? M.B. Tinzmann, B.F. Jones, T.F. Fennimore, J. Bakker, C. Fine, and J. Pierce NCREL, Oak Brook, 1990 New Learning and Thinking Curricula Require Collaboration In Guidebook 1, we explored a "new" vision of learning and suggested four characteristics of successful learners: They are knowledgeable, self-determined strategic, and empathetic thinkers. Research indicates successful learning also involves an interaction of the learner, the materials, the teacher, and the context. Applying this research, new guidelines in the major content areas stress thinking. Guidebook 2 describes these new guidelines and provides four characteristics of "a thinking curriculum" that cut across content areas. The chief characteristic of a thinking curriculum is the dual agenda of content and process for all students. Characteristics that derive from this agenda include in-depth learning; involving students in real-world, relevant tasks; engaging students in holistic tasks from kindergarten through high school; and utilizing students' prior knowledge. Effective communication and collaboration are essential to becoming a successful learner. It is primarily through dialogue and examining different perspectives that students become knowledgeable, strategic, self-determined, and empathetic. Moreover, involving students in real-world tasks and linking new information to prior knowledge requires effective communication and collaboration among teachers, students, and others. Indeed, it is through dialogue and interaction that curriculum objectives come alive. Collaborative learning affords students enormous advantages not available from more traditional instruction because a groupwhether it be the whole class or a learning group within the classcan accomplish meaningful learning and solve problems better than any individual can alone.

View Interaction View Create Demand Plan Use APO Demand Planning (DP) to create a forecast of market demand for your company's products. This component allows you to take into consideration the many different causal factors that affect demand. The result of APO Demand Planning is the demand plan. Demand Planning is a powerful and flexible tool that supports the demand planning process in your company. User-specific planning layouts and interactive planning books enable you to integrate people from different departments, and even different companies, into the forecasting process. Using the DP library of statistical forecasting and advanced macro techniques you can create forecasts based on demand history as well as any number of causal factors, carry out predefined and self-defined tests on forecast models and forecast results, and adopt a consensus-based approach to reconcile the demand plans of different departments. To add marketing intelligence and make management adjustments, you use promotions and forecast overrides. Compare Constraint Plan with Demand Plan In this step Feasible manufacturing and supplier constraint plan is considered and compared with demand plan and final demand plan is communicated within the organisation. And Customers would be confirmed for the feasible supplies.

Funded by an unrestricted educational grant from Aventis Pharmaceuticals, the three organizations convened nearly 50 stakeholder representatives for a collaborative action planning workshop in Washington, DC, last October. “To Err is Human” Much of the nation’s attention has been focused on patient safety since the release of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Report, “To Err is Human,” in November 1999. The RPA, Forum, and NPSF used its collective expertise to convene representatives from the renal community, industry, government agencies, and other important stakeholders to address the issues of medical errors and near misses in the delivery of care to ESRD patients. Workshop participants discussed issues raised in the IOM report in relation to ESRD patient care and developed strategies for how to improve patients’ safety in the dialysis setting.
