Elevator Speech

Here it is..

Hi, I’m Reshma Patel , the quality initiatives assistant at Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM). I elaborate on the Quality Initiatives department’s activity by analyzing important aspects. I do analyses on information for implementation guide downloads to determine how successful the guides are. I also create surveys for those who download our implementation guides to assess their quality and the readers’ satisfaction. Through these ways, I am assessing the quality of our quality initiatives department, like a “check and balances” sort of thing. I also distribute updates of the department through monthly newsletters for the SHM staff. Additionally, I provide our hospitalist physicians with research needed for the upcoming resource rooms of our website. I recently finished gathering research on complicated skin and skin structure infections. And finally, I will be coordinating with department members on quality initiative projects in the near future such as: BOOST, Glycemic Control, and Pharmacoeconomics.
