  1. House Staff Quality Improvement Council (HSQIC) Bringing QI and patient safety to residency and fellowship

  2. What is HSQIC? • Multi-disciplinary group of house staff (residents and fellows) at BIDMC interested in QI and patient safety • Representatives from Anesthesiology, OB/GYN, ED, Psychiatry, Pathology, Surgery, Medicine, Podiatry, Geriatrics, GI, Heme/Onc, Neurology, Radiology, Infectious Disease, Cardiology

  3. What are the goals of HSQIC? Facilitate resident-generated quality improvement (QI) and patient safety (PS) projects Provide resident input on Hospital QI/PS initiatives Serve as a confidential forum for house staff QI and PS concerns Deliver a QI/PS educational curriculum Mentor house staff interested in QI and PS

  4. Axis 2: Resident development The “HSQIC Diamond” • QI Education • Regular learning topics and presentations • HousestaffOutput • “Bottom up” • Housestaff have ideas or concerns for • administration Housestaff Input “Top down” - Administration needs housestaff for projects Axis 1: Patient care and safety HSQIC • Career Development • Mentorship

  5. What does HSQIC do? • Resident-generated projects • HSQIC members play lead role in QI/PS projects of their own making • Hospital-generated projects • HSQIC members work on QI/PS projects coming from hospital administration that involve house staff • Consults • HSQIC serves as a forum for advice and making connections on QI/PS projects generated by house staff or the administration • Recently consulted for IS on how a future electronic inpatient documentation system could work best for residents • Forum for QI/PS concerns • House staff can speak to HSQIC representative about QI/PS concerns confidentially (an ACGME requirement BIDMC was not previously meeting!) • Educational curriculum • Regular teaching topics on QI and PS • Mentorship • Facilitate academic projects, connections to QI mentors, LOR’s for involved members

  6. What are current projects? • Reporting adverse events • Do house staff know how to do it? Can rates be improved? Goal is to assess current resident knowledge on the subject, make an educational intervention, and follow rates of reporting afterwards • Resource Utilization and reducing paper waste • BIDMC uses 9 million pages of paper a month. This project explores the potential for double-sided printing for some documents. • Farr 7 re-design • Farr 7 may become an observation unit for patients admitted to “obs”. We are helping design what that may look like: preserving the educational experience and remaining patient centered while trying to increase patient throughput • Other requests are coming in fast…!

  7. What is the HSQIC educational curriculum? • BIDMC operations 101 • How to do a root cause analysis • Working IRB issues for QI and QA • Patient safety • Cognitive error • Malpractice • Patient disclosure • Metrics and measuring • Leading change • LEAN • Other topics to be added per interest (let us know if you want something)
