DOM QUALITY COUNCIL

In AY21-22, the DOM Quality Improvement, Morbidity & Mortality Steering (QIMMS) Committee rebranded itself as the DOM Quality Council.  The change was made as we welcomed our new DOM Chair of Medicine, Dr. Vineet Chopra, who wanted to create a group of designated representatives from each of the 13 clinical DOM Divisions responsible for DOM- and Division-based outcomes.  This was done to achieve goals set in the UCH/CUSOM Quality & Safety Performance Metrics for AY21-22.

For AY22-23, the DOM Quality Council will focus on identifying Division-specific quality metrics aligned with institutional metrics.  This will be accomplished by designing Division-level projects addressing a gap in quality performance, with quarterly updates on progress to the Council.  Additionally, we plan to utilize mortality and morbidity review processes to inform CCRs and improve the mortality notifications for IP and OP providers.  The DOM Quality Council will also develop a Department Quality Plan as part of the UCH/CUSOM Quality & Safety Performance Metrics for AY22-23.
