University of Utah Health’s Kencee Graves, M.D., and David Colling recently discussed the importance of a “Quality 101” approach in bridging knowledge gaps between clinicians and board members. This interactive approach aims to improve strategic alignment and ultimately leads to better patient outcomes.
Dr. Graves, a hospitalist and palliative medicine physician at the university, highlighted the need for effective communication and understanding between different stakeholders within the healthcare system. By providing board members with a basic understanding of quality improvement strategies and processes, they are better equipped to make informed decisions that align with the organization’s goals.
David Colling, vice chair of the health system’s Community Board of Directors, emphasized the positive impact of implementing this approach. A shared understanding of quality initiatives helps drive organizational change and ensures that resources are allocated effectively to improve patient care.
Overall, the collaboration between clinicians and board members through the “Quality 101” approach demonstrates a commitment to continuous improvement and a focus on delivering the best possible care to patients.
