- Quality Improvement
Background:
- Quality Improvement (QI) is crucial in healthcare and residency training.
- Limited research exists on QI curricula specifically for psychiatry residents.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a novel Quality Improvement (QI) curriculum tailored for psychiatry residents.
- To address the gap in specialized QI educational resources for this medical field.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of a QI curriculum for PGY-3 psychiatry residents at the University of Wisconsin starting in 2010.
- Iterative curriculum refinement based on learner/faculty feedback and literature review.
- Inclusion of faculty training, standardized evaluation tools, and accountability measures for project development.
Main Results:
- 77 PGY-3 residents completed the curriculum over 8 years.
- Significant improvements in QI knowledge and skills were observed in the first two years.
- 97% of resident teams successfully implemented a QI project.
Conclusions:
