11th Annual QIPS Day
Our 11th Annual 2024 Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Day (QIPS) was a great success thanks to the efforts of so many teams sharing their stories, lessons, and successes! We featured 19 Quality Improvement Teams working on a variety of projects. Six Teams presented oral podium presentations with 13 Teams displaying their QIPS work as posters in the Medical Mall.
Check out the "QIPS Day Winners" page for the top presentation.
It is truly a delight to work with everyone and we look forward to the next year of ideas, lessons learned, and breakthrough changes that advance our noble cause.
