e-Education Services

Jim Reinertsen and Jamie Orlikoff have joined forces to create Orlikoff Reinertsen Boardworks, presenting a monthly series of leadership web seminars on timely topics, as well as an exciting new electronic educational resource for boards, executives, and physician leaders. Titled "The Board's Role in Quality and Patient Safety," it is a meticulously crafted set of twelve 20-minute programs that can activate and equip leaders for their critical role in quality and safety oversight. The 12 programs (viewable online, or in groups using the 3-DVD set with discussion guides) can be used to orient new board members, teach and equip a quality committee of the board, develop medical staff leaders, and even "certify" the learning and growth of participants. Learn more about this exciting new resource, as well as our ongoing series of leadership web seminars.

Web Seminars

Schedule of upcoming Web Seminars

The Reinertsen Group offers monthly web seminars, designed for health care trustees, executives and physician leaders. Featuring Jamie Orlikoff and designed with his input, this series of web seminars gives busy leaders the ideas and information they need to improve quality and safety. The seminars are easy to sign up for, and to use. Simply browse the list of upcoming seminars and register online. At the time of the seminar, all you need to attend is a telephone and a computer with an internet connection. You can attend as an individual, or with the addition of a speakerphone and an LCD projector, your entire Board, Medical Executive Committee, or management team can attend as a group. The registration fee is $295 per computer/phone line, regardless of how many of you participate. The Reinertsen Group also makes downloadable recordings of the seminars available, shortly after each event, for a fee of $40 for those who register for the live seminar, and $350 for non-registrants.

Some of the seminars will be designed as an ongoing set of lessons focused on the work of Boards in quality, and will be especially useful for those who wish to:

  • orient new lay trustees to the Board’s role in overseeing quality
  • develop the skills and capability of the members of the Board Quality Committee
  • guide Board leaders on how to improve the usefulness and relevance of the data they see
  • help lay trustees to have more productive conversations with physician leaders about quality and safety of care
  • activate the Board to take a more vigorous role in quality and safety

Other seminars will be devoted to individual, timely “hot topics” in leadership for quality and safety—topics that might be keeping the entire leadership team up at night, and go well beyond the Boardroom. Possible future topics could include

  • Transparency of Quality and Safety Data: Do You Dare to Go Bare?
  • Is it Quality Improvement, or is it Research?
  • Paying Doctors for Quality: Does it Work?
  • Quality Fraud: Questions the OIG might have for the Board and Executive Team about Quality.
