Program Overview

Our Quality & Safety Program's mission is to provide all patients cared for by DOM faculty, trainees, and staff with high quality, safe, and patient-centered care.

To support our mission, our programmatic goals include:

  1. Develop new structures, processes, and systems that allow the DOM to evaluate and improve the care it provides.
  2. Ensure that our program efforts measurably improve performance and foster a culture of safety.
  3. Cultivate collaborative partnerships between the DOM and our clinical divisions, medical centers, and training programs for quality and safety activities.
  4. Engage trainees (e.g. students, housestaff, and fellows) to learn about, participate in, and lead Q/S activities.
  5. Establish the DOM as an innovator and leader in quality and safety.
