Dear Subscriber,

PHF E-News brings you the latest information on how you can use performance management, quality improvement, and workforce development to improve the quality and performance of your organization and the health of your community.
Population Health Driver Diagram Used by Columbia School of Nursing

Bobbie Berkowitz, PhD, RN, FAAN the Dean and Professor at Columbia University School of Nursing and the Senior Vice President of Columbia University Medical Center, introduced the Population Health Driver Diagram to the next generation of nurse practitioners as a way to integrate clinical and primary care with population health. With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, population health has become a core component of healthcare. See how Dean Berkowitz has used the Population Health Driver Diagram developed by the Public Health Foundation (PHF) as a framework to make this integration.
 
Keep Your Health Department's Engine Running Smoothly with a QI Tune-up

Just like complicated machinery and the human body, a quality improvement (QI) program needs to be managed carefully and tuned-up on a regular basis. Too often, organizations think of building QI capacity as a one-time event; they provide training, launch projects, and check the "completed" box. But a QI program, like any other health department initiative, will only excel if it adjusts to changing circumstances and continually improves. Learn more about the QI Tune-up service that PHF has developed in response to this ongoing challenge.
 
2016 TAC Annual Meeting Will Be Held in Lawrence, Kansas
