Modules 1,2 and 3, the primary program modules in the first three-year commitment to MOREOB, provide teams with the basis for significant improvements in knowledge, practice standards, and team function, and help to create a culture of safety and enhanced performance.
Module 1: Learning Together focuses on creating a shared knowledge base by providing all participants with evidence-based clinical content, learning tools, skills drills, and interprofessional workshops – all excellent interprofessional learning opportunities and team-building activities.
Clinical content is developed and updated annually by the Obstetrical Content Review Committee of the SOGC. Learning results are significant with teams typically recognizing performance improvements that contribute to the hospital’s key performance goals.
In Module 2: Working Together enables the learning results to continue as the emphasis shifts to interprofessional team performance. Teams learn and practice enhanced team function and communication methods that improve safety and contribute to a healthy working environment. Emergency drills and audits are introduced to help frontline workers to identify potential improvements in organizational practices and systems. These activities further address the organization’s goals.
Module 3: Changing the Culture ensures that successes achieved in Modules 1 and 2 become an integral part of the team’s environment. Performance is seen as a team effort, and practice improvements that stress patient safety are the main objective. Teams learn from no-harm and harm event reviews using a root cause analysis (RCA) approach. They are introduced to Communities of Practice as a method for capturing and managing system improvements.
In each module, teams engage in an evaluation process to measure progress, guide improvements, and identify successes. Strong positive results are typically recorded in Learning and Performance. These improvements ultimately influence Organizational Results.
