Share What’s Working in Health Care—Enter the Right Care Action Week Story Jam Award on October 18

The Pittsburgh Chapter of the Right Care Alliance is awarding $1,000 for a story about patients and providers who collaborated to find breakthrough solutions providing Right Care to a healthcare problem and achieved outstanding results. Typically, we only hear stories of how the healthcare system fails patients and providers alike. Instead, we are looking for positive stories of how individual providers and patients in everyday care discovered a better approach to a specific healthcare cost or quality problem that deserves to be shared and replicated. These stories may describe how hospitalizations and emergency rooms visits were avoided, or how better health was achieved with a novel approach that conserved resources. This is your chance to share a great example of how right care in the right place at the right timechanges lives—stories that celebrate Right Care. Click here http://bit.ly/2h5Wl27 to submit a written story (approximately 500 words in length) or an audio or video narrative (approximately 2 minutes) by Friday, October 6.

The top stories will be shared at the Right Care Story Jam on Wednesday, October 18 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm at the QI²T Center.

This Story Jam is part of the nation-wide Right Care Action Week (October 15-21) when thousands of advocates from across the U.S. mobilize to bring us closer to creating the safe, responsive, and cost-efficient health system that we all deserve. The Right Care Alliance is a grassroots coalition of clinicians, patients, and community members organizing to make health care institutions accountable to their communities and to put patients at the heart of health care.
