Getting Across the Quality Finish Line: An Ovid Synthesis Webinar

It is daunting to successfully address quality improvement and patient safety initiatives even with best evidence and intentions. This creates the well-recognized know-do gap, referring to the discrepancy between what healthcare workers know should be done based on evidence and what takes place in practice.

This webinar presents a framework to improve the adoption and implementation of patient safety initiatives. The presentation includes a live demonstration of Ovid® Synthesis, an innovative workflow solution that supports quality improvement initiatives and fosters a culture of continuous learning, improvement, and sustained innovation.
