CQI. Continuous Quality Improvement. But how do you know if you're continuously improving quality if you're not quantifying said quality? That's where CLASS observations, and the data they provide about the quality of interactions within a classroom, come in! Check out this webinar TOMORROW on using data and the iterative process of Focus, Measure, Improve to create a #cultureofCLASS #interactionsmatter #ECE #earlychildhoodeducation

If your loved one is a resident in assisted living, ensuring they receive proper care and support is a top priority. Tune in to this week's episode where Rebecca Edelman and I talk about how assisted living places can build trust by matching expectations with residents and families, reducing the chance of legal issues. And don't forget to explore Rebeca Edelman’s ‘Guide Path’ – a program supporting Long-Term Care (LTC) facilities and families by offering practical tools to establish expectations and ease the transition into assisted living.

"By clinicians, for clinicians." - 431 clinicians contributed to our Pickle manifesto through 1:1 interviews with our team since January 1st. To all the PTs, OTs, SLPs, PharmDs, RNs, NPs, MDs, mental health therapists, and the rest of our clinical tribe who spent 30 mins sharing with us your hopes, dreams, and goals for your healthcare career: thank you. And guess what? Each week, even now, we block time for 1:1s with clinicians looking to shape healthcare in your own unique way. If you ever wondered what the professionals who care for your health are thinking each day, here's just a small glimpse. We're building Pickle WITH clinicians to help you pick that healthcare job you love. We've got so much more work to do, features to build, and bugs to fix, but thank you for helping us find where to start and what direction to follow. 🤝Let's shape the future of healthcare, together. #healthcare #nyc
