This session focused on how leaders can do positive leadership walkrounds and engage staff in similar behaviors to build trust and reduce the impact of change fatigue. Role play, breakout, and case study opportunities were provided for real world experiences that reinforce learning.
This session focuses on strategies and resources to help balance new quality improvement projects with others that are nearing completion (entering the sustainment phase). Participants have the opportunity to hear from peers on how they engage staff and medical directors/providers in the QAPI program during roundtable discussions. Also the use of Kamishibai cards to ensure improvements are sustained and for gathering data about sustainment will be introduced.
This session focused on implementation of the Kamishibai Cards (K Cards) to support implementation of new processes, as well as monitoring compliance with process implementation for real-time measurement and daily improvement opportunities. Participants explored how experiences with using K Cards can provide stories to share about their quality improvement journey and how they can provide a motivating vision for continued improvement efforts. Participants also learned and saw how K Cards can demonstrate a facility wide commitment to high quality care, continuous learning and opportunities to engage staff, residents and families in quality improvement.

Comagine Health administered an online Community Health Concerns survey in June 2023 as part of the COVID Community Health Outreach grant awarded by the Washington State Department of Health. The survey aimed to identify important demographic information about community members and explore health concerns related to COVID-19, vaccinations, social determinants of health, health care access and other chronic conditions like diabetes and asthma.
The Community Health Concerns survey, available in English and Spanish, included eight demographic questions and 13 health topics. It was promoted through Facebook ads in collaboration with three community-based organizations: the Martin Luther King Jr. Family Outreach Center, Southwest Washington Accountable Community of Health (SWACH) and the YMCA of Greater Seattle. QR code flyers were distributed at their June events. One $25 gift card was randomly awarded to encourage participation for every 25 respondents. After collecting data online, "bot" responses and those from non-Washington ZIP codes were removed during data cleaning.
The Community Health Concerns survey had 4,983 participants, representing 73.3% of Washington State ZIP codes. Among respondents, 50.3% were English speakers, while 49.7% spoke Spanish. Most were aged 25-64 (68.1%), with 50.4% identifying as male and 45.8% as female. Ethnicities included 41.4% White, 20.1% African American, 15.7% American Indian/Alaska Native and 12.5% Hispanic/Latino — additionally, 55.1% identified as LGBTQ+. Notably, 77.6% used public transportation, and 62.3% lived in apartments. In their households, 73.5% had members under 18, while 41.2% had members over 65.
Comagine Health has created a digital guidebook for the community health workers serving the Black community in Washington state, covering diabetes, cardiovascular health, arthritis, COVID-19's effects on these conditions and vaccination guidance and key competency development.
This session focuses on a processes and strategies for documenting the quality improvement journey, which includes maintaining an inventory of performance improvement projects (PIPs) over time and capturing successes and lessons learned during implementation to be shared with staff, residents, and families. Roundtable discussion will provide an opportunity to share and learn between peers about strategies to cultivate stories about the quality improvement journey. Participants will explore various options for celebrating and sharing these stories about their quality improvement journeys.
