Clinical Pathways Program
Clinical Pathways is our system-wide approach for translating evidence into everyday practice by empowering provider decision making at the point of care. They provide a road map for “typical” care, represent the standard of care at UCM and are a foundational approach used in our clinical high reliability program.
Cochrane US Network
In May, 2019 UChicago Medicine became an inaugural affiliate of the Cochrane US Network, a group of 11 centers promoting evidence-based decision making in health care. Evidence-based tools, initially developed for physicians, are available to a growing healthcare consumer market to help navigate quality information.
Data Analytics
The mandate for safer, higher quality, patient-centric care and better outcomes creates the need for data-driven research. UCM’s Data & Analytics team and the University of Chicago’s Center for Research Informatics collaborate with physician scientists, trainees, and administrators to engage clinical teams and to enhance the organizations ability to research the most crucial factors in today’s healthcare industry such as improved health, better patient experience, more efficient and safer care.
Publishing Tools
The Center for Healthcare Delivery Science & Innovation encourages University of Chicago Medicine staff, trainees and faculty to publish their quality improvement and research findings. Over 90 projects are shared each year at our annual Quality & Safety Symposium. This ambitious display of effort illustrates UChicago Medicine’s commitment to our patients, their families, and our extended community.
Polsky I-Corps
Supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation, the Polsky I-Corps program enables UChicago scientists, researchers, faculty and students to test the commercial potential of their research and ideas. This program is open to UChicago faculty, researchers, students, staff, and alumni as well as participants from partner institutions and regional universities.
