An Inspiring, Fun Way to Share Quality Work

Quality Connections

Last Friday of the Month, 11AM-12PM

Operational Excellence is moving its bi-weekly E4 Leadership Report-outs to monthly and will add a new element designed to generate engagement with the various quality improvement projects ongoing throughout the UChicago Medicine health system.

The initiative, called Quality Connections, will take place during the second half of the new monthly E4 Leadership Report out, and will have a “Shark Tank-like spin.” There will be 60-second project presentations followed by 60 seconds of questions from the “sharks,” which will include Thomas Spiegel, MD, MBA, MS, Health System Chief Quality Officer, Samantha Ruokis, VP, Clinical Performance Excellence, and two rotating mystery guests.

About the Process

The format of this meeting is a fun, competition-styled report out on 10 different quality projects based off of ‘Shark Tank’. This “competition” is open to any member of the health system participating in the quality improvement projects.

  • The presenter will take 60 seconds to pitch their project to the “Quality Sharks” via a one-deck pitch slide (template included upon registration).

  • Our four “Quality Sharks” will then have 60 seconds for follow-up questions. At the end of the presentations the audience will vote on a winning project.

  • The winning project will receive two 1-hour sessions with our ADAMS Center team to utilize MDClone for project purposes.

There are no losers in this effort: Everyone who participates receives added support including networking opportunities and access to expert panel advice, to complete their quality improvement project.

The easy-to-complete presentation template and instructions will be emailed to each registered participant.
