Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video presentation is about a quality improvement project in Michigan titled "Using a Collaborative Quality Improvement Registry to Improve Radiation Dose Reporting and Reduction". The project is part of the Blue Cross Blue Shield cardiovascular consortium (BMC2), which has been collecting data on percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in Michigan for over 25 years. The goal of the project is to improve safety and quality in PCI procedures by reducing radiation exposure to patients and staff. The video discusses the risks associated with high radiation exposure, including skin damage, cataracts, cancer, and brain tumors. The project involves collecting radiation dose data from participating facilities and providing quarterly reports with benchmarks for quality improvement. The video highlights the steps taken in the project, including analyzing data, contacting sites with high variability, and conducting collaborative meetings with physicians and staff. The results of the project show an increase in dose reporting and a decrease in procedures with high radiation doses. The project aims to benefit patients, providers, staff, and payers by reducing radiation-related complications and costs. The video provides resources and contact information for further information. No credits are mentioned in the video. The speaker in the video is Kathleen Frazier.
