Description: Each year, the VA manages more than 7,700 patients with newly diagnosed lung cancer. Small Cell Lung Cancer accounts for about 13% of all patients with lung cancer but is characterized by more aggressive disease and a higher mortality rate than NSCLC. Most SCLC patients are diagnosed in the metastatic stage, described as ES-SCLC. For more than 30 years, the standard treatment has been combination platinum chemotherapy. Recently, the approval of checkpoint inhibitors for the first-line treatment of ES-SCLC has improved survival for ES-SCLC patients. In this talk, we will describe the results of the Phase 3 CASPIAN study evaluating the use of durvalumab and chemotherapy in ES-SCLC.

Where Health Leaders Come to Learn: Leading the Transformation to HRO Series, cont.
The journey to becoming a High Reliability Organization (HRO) is a high priority across the Defense Health Agency and the Veteran’s Hospital Administration. Join AMSUS and current senior federal leaders in this dynamic and evolving series of dialogues on the implementation and operational challenges to providing more consistently safe, better, and reliable care. We’ll be exploring everything from mindset to metrics. Join us for a frank and open sharing of these challenges and how leaders at the VA and DHA are developing and executing their HRO strategies. We’re coming to share, to learn, and get better together!
This webinar series is ideal for those on the journey to HRO seeking to share their experiences and learn from fellow leaders in this endeavor. Please join us and share the questions, ideas and approaches you are experiencing along this journey. Your feedback and questions will drive how the future of the series evolves, the experts we invite, and the insights we all learn from each other to get better.
Session #4: From Systems Thinkers to Systems Learners: HRO as a Strategic Scalable System
Our series has highlighted the mindset, culture, and leader qualities essential to achieving a High Reliability state for a healthcare organization. Great, but what do leaders actually do to get their organizations moving on that journey? How do you get from here to there? What are the practical steps in building organizational momentum and alignment to become an HRO?
Join our discussion as we hear from two senior health executives and former military medical commanders who have guided organizations on the HRO journey and the specific steps, connections and integrations they focus on to create system learners throughout their organizations. Every organization will have its own unique starting point and resources, but many of the tools, metrics, and practices, i.e. process improvement frameworks, safety and quality reporting, recognition and communication methods, are already integral in the daily operations of most healthcare organizations. Learn how these leaders practically and deliberately connected, integrated and utilized these tools and resources at their disposal to accelerate their team’s journey to High Reliability.
