  • About the Summit
    About the Summit The Michigan Summit on Quality Improvement, Patient Safety & Wellness is a statewide program that brings together medical care providers to focus on promotion of patient safety and enhancement of quality of patient care, along with caregiver wellness. The Summit supports Section VI of the American Conference on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Common Program Requirements. The requirements emphasize that all physicians share responsibility for promoting patient safety and enhancing quality of patient care. As a result, Graduate medical education training programs must prepare residents to provide clinical care with continuous focus on the safety, individual needs, and humanity of their patients. In addition, ACGME has recognized that the psychological, emotional, and physical well-being of caregivers is critical in the development of competent, caring, and resilient physicians. Quality Improvement involves systematic and continuous actions that lead to measurable improvement in health care services and the well-being of targeted patient populations. To make improvements, organizations need to understand their own delivery system and key processes. The Michigan Summit on Quality Improvement, Patient Safety & Wellness is designed to focus on the initial steps of quality improvement by highlighting the importance of residents and fellows in the process of identifying areas of improvement. This Summit further aids health care systems by providing the tools to effectively study the targeted areas of improvement. Wellness addresses the well-being of the healthcare delivery team: from residents, fellows, attending physicians, physician assistants, nurses, aides, and graduate medical education program directors. The goal is to help caregivers establish work-life balance so that they can be effective caregivers for their patients.

  • Troggen Abaroque Game of Tarot from Solothurn
    1 TROGGEN A BAROQUE GAME OF TAROT FROM SOLOTHURN Troggen is a tarot game played with an Italian suited tarot deck of 78 cards, commonly known as «Tarot de Marseille». If no such deck is available, any Tarot deck of 78 cards may be used. The card game tarot and its characteristic cards originated around 1430 in northern Italy. The oldest surviving cards were made in Milan. They were hand-painted in 1441 on the occasion of Francesco Sforza's marriage to Bianca Maria Visconti. In the early 16th century, French and Swiss mercenaries got to know the game in northern Italy and brought it back to their home countries. The Solothurn region was a centre of playing card production in Switzerland in the 18th century. The oldest surviving tarot cards in Switzerland were designed in the city of Solothurn in 1718. We know from historical sources that Troggen, as Tarock was called in Solothurn at that time, was very popular. In the course of the 19th century, other card games with French suits such as Whist, Bridge and finally the originally Dutch Jass replaced Troggen in Solothurn. In Switzerland, tarot has survived as a card game in Visperterminen and in the Surselva. Since the rules of Troggen originally applied in Solothurn are not documented, the Historical Museum Blumenstein in Solothurn redefined the rules of the game in 2015. In doing so, we relied on the very original rules of Troggu still played in Visperterminen and supplemented them with some elements of the modern French tarot. Our Troggen rules are designed to make it as easy as possible for new players to get into the game, while maximising the fun.

  • Rules of Card Games: 1000
    1000 Introduction Players and Cards Deal Exchanging Cards Bidding Play Scoring The Barrel - Zero Scores - Rospisat' Four player game Variations Dealing and Redealing - Bidding - Exchanging Cards - Rospisat' - Announcing combinations - The Barrel - Scoring Polish Tysiąc Two player game Auction 1000 - Draw 1000 German 1001 (Tausendeins) Russeln Introduction This excellent three-player game is well known in several Eastern European countries, including Russia, Belorus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Poland and Lithuania. In Russian speaking areas it is known as Tysiacha (Тысяча) and in Poland it is Tysiąc - both words mean 1000, the target score for the game. There are many slight variations in the rules of play between and within countries. A version played in Russia, Belorus and Ukraine will be described first. Players and Cards There are three active players, but as with many three-player games it is possible for four people to take part, with one player sitting out of each hand. A 24-card pack is used. 1000 is a point-trick game: the aim is to win tricks containing valuable cards. There are just six cards in each of the suits Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs and Spades and their ranking from high to low and their point values are as follows: Ace 11 points Ten 10 points King 4 points Queen 3 points Jack 2 points Nine 0 points There are therefore 120 card points in the pack altogether, and a player who holds both the king and the queen of a suit (a pair or marriage) can obtain additional points by declaring them as follows: King and Queen of Hearts 100 points King and Queen of Diamonds 80 points King and Queen of Clubs 60 points King and Queen of Spades 40 points Deal The deal, bidding and play are clockwise.
