Scanning For Qi: Resident And Sonographer Driven Improvement Of Radiology Resident Ultrasound Technique, Brian Blumhof, Md, Corinne Wessner, Bs, Rdms, Rvt, Kristen Mcclure, Md
House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)
Objective
The aim of this structural QI project is to improve the educational ultrasound curriculum , thus improving overall resident confidence and technical ability in acquiring diagnostic quality sonographic images.
Comparing resident confidence levels and performance against their initial benchmarks as well as against yearly cohorts, we plan to create a long standing addition to the radiology residency at Jefferson, with plans to include additional ultrasound examinations as the curriculum becomes more robust.
Stakeholders include not only the radiology residency, which would benefit from improved resident education and knowledge, but also the hospital and ultimately patients, who stand to benefit …

Quality Time: Eeg Conference, Nicole Brescia, Md
House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)
Background
- Didactic conferences are a defining, common feature of the majority of training programs
- Comprise several hours a week
- Learners and educators from all different levels and backgrounds come together to share experience and knowledge
- Fosters an environment of trust and comradery.
- EEG conferences specifically provide the opportunity to see the perspectives on a study which is sometimes subjective with poor interrater reliability
- Our EEG conference is a recent addition, along with the pediatric epilepsy fellowship, to the AI DuPont Neurology Department

House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)
Abstract
Introduction: Clinic process inefficiencies cause lengthy visit and wait times, which frustrate patients and providers and limit clinic capacity
Objective: To identify process inefficiencies and assess process flow interventions
Methods: Prospective, consecutive series of resident clinic visits over a 3-week period after transferring refraction from tech to resident. Personnel recorded the time spent waiting for and undergoing each clinic process. The clinic also piloted a “Fast Track” from registration to resident for appropriate established patients.
Results: Patients spent 53% of the visit waiting, primarily for the tech. Transferring refraction from tech to resident decreased the wait for tech …

House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)
Background
Voluntary event reporting is crucial to identify problem areas in healthcare. At TJUH, resident reporting from July to February during FY19 represented 2% of all report, compared to nursing who accounted for 77% of reports. Resident physicians witness events but do not report them due to cumbersome reporting platform, absence of feedback about reports, lack of reinforcement on how and what to report, and a mindset of not wanting to cause trouble (1,2). Our project aimed to lower the barrier of high administrative reporting burden for residents to report events by creating a HIPAA-compliant, mobile event reporting system.
