Continuing Education in the Health Professions

By working in joint-providership with accredited providers of continuing education (CE) in the health professions, ​Q Synthesis develops and implements interprofessional educational programs that enable teams of healthcare professionals to improve patient outcomes and advance health services research.

Implementation Science

Implementation science (IS) is the study of methods to promote the integration of research findings and evidence into healthcare services, systems, policies and practice. The application of implementation science can lead to the sustainable uptake and adoption of evidence-based interventions by clinicians. 

​Implementation science may also be called dissemination and implementation research (D&I Research).

Systems Thinking

Healthcare is a complex adaptive system. While there is no single definition of systems thinking, one can view it as a paradigm or perspective that considers connections among different components, plans for the implications of their interaction, and requires transdisciplinary thinking as well as active engagement of those who have a stake in the outcome to govern the course of change. Some may use the term systems science, systems engineering, systems-based practice, etc. 

Building Bridges from Education to Quality​ Improvement

The Institute of Medicine’s 2003 report titled, "Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality," states that healthcare professionals need to "cooperate, communicate, and integrate care in teams to ensure that care is continuous and reliable." 

The IOM has defined quality as “the degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge.”

Q Synthesis remains committed to applying effective principles of team-based interprofessional continuing education to increase knowledge, skills, and performance of healthcare professionals. 

By applying systems thinking and implementation science into quality improvement (QI) programs, Q Synthesis develops continuing medical education/continuing education (CME/CE) initiatives to advance interprofessional collaborative practice.
