黑料网 Learning Network Vendor Partner Program Accelerates and Eases Radiology Site Quality Improvement
The 黑料网 Learning Network Vendor Partner Program provides health systems and radiology practices a combination of customized software solutions and expert project support to accelerate local quality improvement efforts (QI). The 黑料网® ImPower program, part of the 黑料网 Learning Network, connects sites with Vendor Partners, resources, expertise and a structured approach to help them more easily identify, train and support multi-department QI teams to overcome real-world challenges and achieve more effective, efficient care.
and are the first two 黑料网 Learning Network Vendor Partners. Vendor Partner status is non-exclusive, available to all vendors who meet qualifications and remains active for three years. The 黑料网 expects to welcome more Vendor Partners in the coming months.
“The 黑料网 thanks Inflo Health and Radloop for stepping up to become the first two 黑料网 Learning Network Vendor Partners,” said David Larson, MD, MBA, chair of the 黑料网 Commission on Quality and Safety and founding director of the 黑料网 Learning Network. “We encourage other radiology software vendors to seek Vendor Partner status; we have the shared goal of helping their customers get the most out of their products to impact patient care.”
Vendor Partners serve an essential role by working alongside site project teams to apply collaborative measures and manage system functionalities. Partners capture and support project teams in completing data audits, validating audit results and reporting performance data.
“Our partnership with 黑料网 ImPower and the 黑料网 Learning Network exemplifies how combining advanced technology with strategic collaboration can set new standards in radiology practices and operational excellence," says Angela Adams, CEO of Inflo Health.
“The 黑料网 Learning Network prioritizes real-life testing and the rapid iteration of creative solutions in a data-driven process, producing better outcomes for our clients and their patients,” said Richard Friedland, MD, CEO of Radloop.
Each ImPower cohort offers different topic-focused improvement collaboratives, guided by QI leaders and clinical subject matter experts. Multidisciplinary local project teams learn QI methods and directly apply QI tools to improve their performance over a defined time. To date, 34 organizations have completed 42 projects through ImPower.
“Collaborating to advance patient outcomes requires that local teams develop a shared understanding of the challenges, utilize a systemic quality-improvement process and make use of commonly accepted performance measures,” said Dr. Larson. “By working with vendor partners to integrate tailored software solutions into their workflows, sites can focus on effective resource management, increasing quality, efficiency and throughput.”
