Population Health in the Emergency Department - Creation of an M4 Elective

Abstract

CORD Abstracts Issue 2023 residents, who identify and execute QI initiatives in our ED in a timely/efficient manner. 3) Participation in various hospital committees to recognize and appreciate the importance of ongoing QI and patient safety initiatives, as well as serving in a liaison role to keep ED staff informed.Impact/Effectiveness: Since implementation, there have been 20 QI projects completed, with 3 ongoing, by 49 (100%) of our residents. These projects have been disseminated broadly through abstracts/presentations/ publications on the local, regional, and national levels. Some lasting examples include: decreased CAUTIs after education on foley placement in the ED; utilization of airway checklists; and the impact of onboarding education for offservice rotators.
