The SPH Medicine Quality and Safety Committee is a group of leaders who support the Medicine Program—such as managers, directors, and clinical staff. We meet every two months to look at how the program is doing in areas like patient safety and quality of care.
The committee helps us keep track of how well care is being delivered and whether there are any risks or concerns that need attention. It is also a space for people to share updates, stay informed, and learn from one another.
Examples of topics we discuss include
• Updates on Medicine Program activities
• Projects focused on improving patient care
• Learning from patient safety incidents
• Workflow or process changes that affect teams
