Introduction:

All five parameters of the Quintuple aim for health care quality are of special professional relevance to physicians. In addition, by improving doctors’ health and well-being, improving the quality of healthcare by doctors to doctors, and improving the experience of doctors as patients in the healthcare system, each factor can benefit overall population health.
Doctors as a population group can also benefit from the quintuple aim, and those with chronic conditions will benefit from continuity of care and public health. GPs and primary care practices have a role in narrowing the health inequity gap for patient populations, including doctors as a patient group.

Aim(s):

In Family Medicine we know about the critical nature of GP-patient relationship in providing safe and comprehensive care to patient populations. Today we aim to explore deeper synergies between population health, leadership, healthcare quality & safety for doctors as patients, from the perspectives of GPs from different countries. In this interactive workshop we will focus on GP leadership in Primary Care for improving quality & safety of care for a specific patient-population, medical doctors.

Programme:

Following a brief introduction (5 minutes) by Dr Rochfort and Dr Astier-Pena, we will conduct a Consensus Development Process as part of a modified Delphi Survey based on the results of a National GP survey.
Delegates at the EQUIP conference will have an opportunity to comment on and refine the findings of a National GP survey and to contribute to the process of reaching a consensus on how to improve quality of care for doctors.
