Enroll by December 9 to access key IHI Forum sessions that will be available On Demand,
December 8 - 15
The Canadian Patient Safety Institute is unable to offer the 2009 pan-Canadian webcast
of the IHI National Forum on Quality Improvement in Healthcare as planned.
However, thanks to sponsorship from the Health Quality Council (HQC), Saskatchewan
Ministry of Health, and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan, HQC
has purchased a provincial license that allows anyone in Saskatchewan to view Dr.
Donald Berwick's keynote address and the other exceptional presentations that would
have been part of the webcast.
The provincial license allows you to view on your computer the IHI's On Demand offering
of nine presentations, valued at $395.00 US/person, at no cost. Each video will be
available 90 minutes after the live presentation is completed in Orlando Florida
beginning on December 8 and all sessions can be accessed until December 15 for you
to view as often as you wish.
NEW: See our schedule
of live presentations in Florida (EST) and when they will be available for viewing
in Saskatchewan (CST). These are the earliest times the presentations can be accessed
in Saskatchewan. If you are enrolled to receive the On Demand presentations, you
can view them anytime between December 8 and December 15.
Here's how to enroll (by December 9, 2009):
To ensure you do not have to pay the $395 On Demand fee, you must first obtain the
passcode you will need to enter when you enroll for the presentations. To get the
code, contact the Health Quality Council (
sragush@hqc.sk.ca / (306)668-8810, ext. 113).
You must enroll on the IHI website to obtain access to the On Demand IHI Forum presentations
when they are made available. You can enroll anytime between now and December 7,
2009. At the
On Demand web page, click on the "Enroll" tab and the "Enroll now" link near the
top of the page.
DO NOT enter the Saskatchewan passcode on the first page that comes up ("How did
you hear about this event?" page). Check a box that describes how you heard about
the On Demand presentations, and click "Next step".
On the "Select attendee" page, click on one of the buttons (either "I am enrolling
myself", or "I am enrolling someone other than myself") that appear on left side
of the page, and then click "Next step".
On the Select Rate page, enter the passcode for Saskatchewan and click "Submit".
Click "Next step".
This page will show that the four keynote and 5 special interest keynote sessions
are checked and that you are enrolled at the "Saskatchewan attendee rate" and the
total cost will be $0.00. If it does not show $0.00, repeat the above steps from
the beginning.
IMPORTANT LAST STEP: You then have to login if you already have previously registered
with the IHI website. If you have not registered, please do so and you will then
receive an email from IHI confirming that you are registered for the On Demand presentations.
For more information on the keynote speakers, see the
National Forum brochure. To register for the IHI Forum On Demand presentations,
visit the
IHI website (click on the On Demand link under "21st Annual National Forum on
Quality Improvement in Healthcare" near the top of the IHI homepage), or contact
Sheila Ragush at the Health Quality Council:
sragush@hqc.sk.ca / (306)668-8810, ext. 113.
Video competition
Videos that were submitted for Canadian content on the cancelled webcast will still
be reviewed and the selected videos will instead be featured on the CPSI website
and at Canada's Forum on Patient Safety and Quality Improvement which will be held
in Toronto in April 2010.
Thank you to sponsors of the provincial license for On Demand presentations of the
IHI National Forum, 2009:
