 \nThe Nova Scotia Health Quality and Patient Safety Rounds for Physicians 
 was developed after the Nova Scotia Health’s Quality Improvement Team we
 re seeking an opportunity to share the results of recent quality reviews w
 ith a physician audience. Our audience and interest in these sessions have
  since grown and has now become an annual series for physicians to learn a
 bout quality improvement initiatives in the inpatient care setting. The pu
 rpose is to improve patient outcomes around quality and safety.\n\nAlignin
 g a quality improvement approach in clinical care to best practices or cli
 nical standards also contributes to improved system outcomes – things li
 ke improved patient flow\, improved communication between providers\, and 
 health care provider morale.\n\nThe series has since expanded to include o
 ther clinical practice topics of high importance and identified through ev
 aluation surveys distributed after sessions.\n\nNova Scotia Health Quality
