Quality Improvement Pathway (IMPACT - Improving Metric Performance Analysis for Clinic Transformation)

Do you want to learn the science of improvement to improve the lives of your patients on a large scale?

In 2018 we created the IMPACT (Improving Metric Performance Analysis for Clinic Transformation) learning pathway to do just that.

IMPACT uses real data from our ambulatory practice to improve the care we deliver.

You will be mentored by improvement experts, and learn which tools to apply to which problem.

We work primarily with the Model for Improvement, a powerful methodology that improves the care our patient receive.

Our resident training practice has more clinical practice data than most other practices in the nation.

We are proud to serve the underserved of our community, and deliver world class care.

For an example of an improvement project done in our residency check out this article. The resident who led this project (first author on the paper) is now one of the most important improvement experts in the medical center. He got his start in our residency -- check out his most recent work at improve care here (COPD bundles) and here (COVID-19 system redesign).

The videos below demonstrate some of the concepts covered in this pathway.

These skills are evergreen and will be valuable for your entire career no matter your chosen field.
