The Department of Dermatology places great importance on measuring and reporting its quality efforts. The Department’s quality improvement efforts are led by Mackenzie Asel, MD and Ashley Privalle, MD, who work in concert with clinicians and staff to identify ways to improve the quality of service delivered at all the Department’s clinical sites, with a focus on optimizing the patient experience, increasing access, and facilitating efficiency.
Resident physicians are also expected to actively participate in the Department’s quality improvement activities. Each resident develops his/her own quality improvement projects during the course of residency. In addition, resident physicians have the opportunity to serve on the institution’s Root Cause Analysis Committee.
