Applying a QI lens to Faculty Wellness
Simron Singh, Lead, DoM Faculty Wellness portfolio
Wellness and Burnout among health care providers has emerged as one of the most important issues in the COVID recovery period. Numerous issues at all levels contribute to physician wellness and can lead to increased rates of burnout. Although many stakeholders have expressed a desire to try and tackle this issue, most are yet to develop an approach to wellness and burnout. This session is designed to be an open conversation to discuss how a Quality Improvement and Innovation approach may be used to reduce burnout and improve wellness in the DoM.

CQuIPS Training: Artificial intelligence and machine learning in QIPS
Google map
Masterclass
Dr. Patricia Trbovich, Dr. Amanda Mayo, and Dr. Laura C. Rosella
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is an area that is exploding! We constantly hear about its potential to transform how we work and care for patients. But what is AI/ML exactly? And how can quality improvement and patient safety (QIPS) practitioners and AI/ML experts combine efforts? In this three-hour interactive session, we will review how AI/ML is being integrated into healthcare processes and services, as this is where AI/ML and QIPS complementary skills will emerge. Rarely do AI/ML systems deliver services on their own. It is much more likely that clinical teams will interact with AI/ML systems to provide care. You will learn the fundamentals of AI/ML and how to determine when to incorporate AI/ML in your QIPS work. Through the use of examples, you will learn to identify how improvement science methods can help answer questions related to how AI/ML systems can support clinicians, and how their interaction can be optimized. You will walk away knowing how to critically appraise when AI/ML is of value for your project and how it should be used.

CQuIPS Training: Qualitative research methods
Google map
Masterclass
Dr. Katie Dainty, Dr. Joanne Goldman, & Leahora Rotteau
A qualitative research approach can be useful at various stages of a quality improvement project – from developing a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of your problem, to designing an intervention that addresses the factors influencing relevant practices, to evaluating both the intended and unintended impacts of your improvement efforts. However, the opportunities for a qualitative research approach to optimize a QI project are often missed. In this masterclass, we will cover the foundations of using qualitative approaches in QI and work with participants to think about how a qualitative research approach could complement the QI methodology within their individual projects.
Note: Students will be required to have a foundation of QI knowledge and to submit a QI project proposal/idea/work in progress at least two weeks prior to the session.
