Design Studios

The most crucial time in developing a QI project is the design phase. The DOP aids faculty members and trainees who aim to improve the way we care for our patients. The design studio is a process where the project owner presents the concept to a multidisciplinary group that consists of the Vice-Chair for Quality and Innovation, quality improvement expert, Maintenance of Certificate program expert, research expert, biostatistician, data expert, and a clinical expert.

These experts guide the project owner through improving on the project idea and identifying resources to assure a successful implementation. This method increases the scientific rigor of the QI initiative and allows for addressing design flaws in an early stage.

Statistical Support

One of the main obstacles for faculty and trainees in developing and implementing QI projects is the availability of statistical support. The DOP provides free of charge statistical support to any faculty or trainee with a registered project. This service aim to improve the quality of the projects and help in make it publishable in respected peer reviewed journals.
