Strategy 4: Deliver comprehensive clinical services that improve the health status of the communities we serve

In partnership with its clinical affiliates and other colleges, UI COM will strive to meet the different healthcare needs of patients and improve the quality and safety of the clinical experiences for our diverse communities throughout Illinois.

  • Implement a UIPG Physician Orientation in conjunction with Medical Staff to develop expectations and enhance culture (define role of physician group versus medical staff)
  • Revamp/Revitalize current UIPG standing committees, expand utilization of UIPG exec committee, ensure optimal UIPG participation in hospital and medical staff committees
  • Develop opportunities for system-wide utilization of expertise among DAOs

Progress
  • Working with health system, develop a clinical care quality and safety analysis to inform us on areas of challenge and opportunities for correction and establish quality and safety norms/expectations for the health system (with respective outcomes metrics)
  • Improve opportunities for overlap with business development and faculty practice plan in order to mitigate “pipeline leakage”
  • Implement Vision & Guide Alignment Committee to further enable collaboration between COM Directors of Operations and Hospital Leadership/Designees on agreed strategic vision
  • “Develop demand forecasting around site of care for all service lines (diversification of payer mix)”

Progress
  • Use all available data to generate a current-state needs/asset assessment
  • Working with health system, develop an ambulatory care SWOT analysis to provide strategic direction for way forward
  • Set areas of focus for expansion (using analysis above) – mix of services
  • Development and implementation of a comprehensive ambulatory dashboard that contains relevant metrics across ambulatory operations accessible to both department clinic leadership and providers
  • Develop a faculty practice-specific policies and procedures manual that builds on and creates addendums for hospital policies and procedures as applicable
