Regional Time Sensitive Care Coalitions Course

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Mick Anderson provides a recap of the previous lessons in the Regional Time-Sensitive Care Coalitions course. Lesson one discussed the importance of establishing a time-sensitive care coalition (RETSCO) in a community or region. Lesson two covered the roles and responsibilities of the RETSCO and its manager. Lesson three focused on defining the catchment area and inviting organizations to participate in the creation of the RETSCO. Lesson four described how to assess time-sensitive systems of care efforts within the catchment area. Lesson five explained how to set up a meeting of executive-level representatives to discuss the formation of the RETSCO. Lesson six discussed the steps to conduct the RETSCO formation meeting. In this seventh lesson, the focus is on establishing condition-specific committees for each targeted condition designated by the RETSCO stakeholder committee. The committee should consist of hospital service line administrators, medical directors, quality managers, ambulance and rescue supervisors, and clinical staff. The video emphasizes the importance of selecting measures to assess system performance and obtaining baseline data. This baseline assessment is crucial for objectively measuring any future improvements or declines in system performance and for applying for grants or support. The video also suggests comparing local results to state and national results and addressing deficiency gaps. Additionally, the need for clear operating policies, such as bylaws, is stressed, especially for a fully independent 501c3 not-for-profit corporation. The video concludes by mentioning that the next lesson will cover transparency, accountability, and celebration. Questions or comments can be sent to ncdrmail at acc.org.
