Quality Improvement

Resident quality improvement projects

Every year, our PGY-2 residents design and implement a quality improvement (QI) project to improve care in our clinic and for our patients.

Recent projects have included:

  • A process to make sure bilirubin labs are followed up for newborns with hyperbilirubinemia
  • Inbox management, including “Doc of the Day,” a new approach to managing the Epic inbox that residents presented at STFM 2025
  • Improving vaccination rates
  • Improving tobacco cessation rates
  • Improving breast cancer screening rates
