The Great Plains Quality Innovation Network team will host a ‘Huddle’ after each Project TeleEcho – Geriatric and Age Friendly Care session hosted by the University of North Dakota. These huddles will further the discussion on how each topic relates to the 4Ms framework and how to incorporate into your area of practice. We will answer questions and offer assistance and resources. The Great Plains QIN Huddles are scheduled the third Tuesday of the month from 12:00 – 12:45 p.m.
