Rapid PULSE 360 Pilot December Update

Highlights

To assist organizations in program implementation, CRICO, in coordination with the PULSE program, has developed a FAQ document.

In December, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary was the first CRICO institution to begin implementation of this pilot program!

In Q1 of 2023, it is anticipated the following organizations will begin implementation of this pilot program:

• Boston Children's Hospital
• Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center-Milton
• Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians
• Lahey Hospital & Medical Center
• Mass General Brigham
• Newton-Wellesley Hospital

Upcoming Key Milestones

CRICO will facilitate collaborative meetings for participating organizations to discuss project status, challenges, and identification of potential best practices. Representatives from PULSE — along with Dr. Peter Laussen and Dr. David DeMaso from Boston Children’s Hospital — will attend these meetings. Drs. Laussen and DeMaso have a wealth of experience in using the PULSE program at their institution and will be available during this pilot program to offer implementation guidance to organizations. The first collaborative meeting is anticipated to be held early in 2023.

During the month of January, CRICO management will follow up with organizations who have not yet agreed to participate in this pilot and seek to engage their involvement.
