Overview: Quality Connections is a dynamic, reality-show-inspired meeting in which hospital staff present quality improvement projects in 60-second, rapid-fire report-outs to a panel of rotating leadership “quality sharks.” The sharks then ask probing questions while encouraging advancements in each workstream. This engaging platform fosters organizational innovation by showcasing successful initiatives, connecting staff with executives and promoting actionable improvements across departments.

Overview: In primary care ambulatory clinics, nurses face challenges in managing high call volumes for medical advice, often leading to provider burnout and delays in patient care. This project implemented a protocol-based nurse telephone triage system using Schmitt-Thompson protocols and the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) framework to standardize telephone triage, reduce unnecessary provider escalations and improve efficiency. Results demonstrated an 88.9% reduction in provider escalations and a shift toward nurse-led triage management, ensuring timely, evidence-based care.

Overview: In 2022, a comprehensive academic medical center launched a mortality implementation steer to improve hospital mortality rates by addressing key drivers. Led by the chief medical officer and chief operating officer, the initiative included focused Vizient service lines, as well as hospitalwide initiatives. Key strategies included identifying and aligning with patient goals of care; selecting appropriate patients for admission and transfer; detecting and responding to clinical deterioration; and partnering with clinical documentation, integrity and coding.

Overview: This initiative demonstrates how strategic reorganization of quality management structure across a 17-campus health system established an effective governance framework for quality improvement. Through successful implementation of a hierarchical committee structure with clearly defined domains and a novel QUAD leadership model integrating quality, physician, nursing/operations and process improvement leaders, our system achieved significant improvements in key quality metrics within the first year.

Overview: Workplace violence (WPV) is often underreported by healthcare professionals. To address underreporting of WPV against nurses, our organization integrated WPV reporting into the electronic health record (EHR). A new EHR flow sheet was created as part of the patient assessment, enabling easier documentation of WPV events. Data collected from August 2023 to January 2024 showed a 980.6% increase in WPV reports. This quality improvement initiative highlights the effectiveness of EHR integration in enhancing WPV reporting and the need for organizational support.

Overview: Managing durable medical equipment (DME) in the emergency department (ED) at Yale New Haven Health System was inefficient, delaying patient discharges, wasting resources and increasing costs. By implementing a standardized process, we streamlined DME workflows to ensure patients received the right mobility equipment at the right time.

Overview: This session highlights the impact of clinical ethics integration in intensive care unit (ICU) care using a unique, structured and standardized screening tool. By identifying and addressing ethical issues early, the initiative significantly improved patient outcomes — including mortality and length of stay (LOS) indexes — while reducing costs by more than $4 million. This data-driven intervention provides a model for expanding clinical ethics programs across facilities.
