Grand Rounds via

Video Conferencing

What are we accomplishing?1. Critically review case presentations in a

interprofessional framework to ↑ awareness & foster development of locally adapted, effective systems of quality & safety controls for better outcomes for patients & staff.

2. ↑ learning by allowing reflection on cases that are relevant, practical & respectful of prior knowledge (Adult learning principles ) - everyone learns differing lessons dependant on their level of experience & discipline.
