Participation in Hospital Committees Approximately 150 residents and fellows Part of committees at 4 clinical sites – e.g. infection control; ethics; Population Health/Disease Management programs; etc. Challenges: Committee meeting times

Participation in Independent QI Projects Approximately 125 individual and group projects – Conducted by and with ~ 465 house officers – Data collection and intervention at ~ 15 clinical sites (hospitals and clinics) – General Surgery residents in class-based projects to ensure continuity Challenges: Ensuring value/feasibility of individual projects

Nurse Manager of Quality Management at ILH collects current PI programs, committees, and projects. Listing is maintained on a drive shared between the QM and EQuIP offices.

Evaluation of Resident Participation

Next Steps Quality Improvement Day (May 14, 2013). Evaluate resident performance on hospital committees (Spring 2013). Gather preliminary results of EQuIP projects (Summer 2013). Roll out QI/PS curriculum to faculty and hospital personnel (TBD). More robust project review mechanism ( AY ).
