About the Elective in QI, Patient Safety & Organizational Change This elective is a 4-week training and mentorship experience at Stanford University Hospitals and Clinics. The overarching goal of the elective is to provide mentored practice and growth in residents’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes in quality improvement, patient safety, and organizational change. The resident will engage in directed readings in quality, patient safety, and organizational change, attend sessions with experienced “QI Champions”, learn about quality improvement projects and processes at Stanford University, participate in ongoing quality and patient safety activities within the Department of Medicine and Stanford Hospital & Clinics, and design and begin a quality improvement /patient safety/organizational change project. Residents should receive regular verbal feedback. The quality improvement elective is also designed to allow the resident to develop mentoring relationships with “QI Champions” who will serve as role models, mentors, and educators. Goals of the quality improvement elective At the end of the quality improvement elective, residents should be able to see increases in:

• Knowledge of key components of reflective practice • Skill in applying reflective practice • Knowledge in the definition of quality improvement (QI) • Knowledge of key steps in a QI project • Knowledge of criteria for selecting a QI project team • Knowledge of practice-based learning and improvement • Knowledge of systems-based practice • Familiarity with QIPS infrastructure at Stanford Hospital and Clinics • Familiarity with publicly reported core measures, national data on

quality/patient safety • Appreciation of QI as part of the physician’s professional role • Confidence in participating in a QI project • Ability to communicate with peers about QI principles, as well as specific

projects and resources at Stanford • Ability to synthesize QI concepts from key readings • Ability to apply knowledge to a QI project at Stanford

Resident Elective Syllabus 2014-2015; Page 15

Required activities: End-rotation Status Report through a Handoff Video At the end of the rotation, the resident should complete an end-rotation status report in Powerpoint. This is intended to summarize progress to date and outline steps to keep the initiative going, even in the resident’s absence. The report should include specific resources needed for ongoing data monitoring and evaluation. Think about what you would want to know if you were next month’s QI resident coming into this project. This will be videotaped/ recorded as a virtual handoff in LKSC with EdTech. Prepare for about a 30 minute handoff video. Request through SMILI: http://smili.stanford.edu/consultation/index.html For more specific instructions, please speak with Kambria H. Evans, M.Ed.
