Ashley Huth, MD, Selected as the 2014-2015 Chair of the UW Health Resident Quality and Safety Council

Ashley Huth, MD, has been selected as the 2014-2015 Chair of the UW Health Resident Quality and Safety Council. This council promotes resident participation in UW Health quality improvement (QI) and patient safety activities. With the mentorship of Michelle Kelly, MD, and Kristin Shadman, MD, she has taken the lead on sustainability projects for ongoing QI initiatives, including sustaining the Family-Centered Rounds (FCR) checklist intervention at AFCH. This intervention was created with a multidisciplinary group of family, pediatric, and human factors engineering representatives to improve family engagement during FCR in the context of an Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)-funded FCR Initiative (Cox, PI). This project was one of the first QI projects to receive Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Part 4 credit at UW. This ongoing QI work will be presented at both the American Board of Medical Specialties and American Academy of Pediatrics national conferences this fall.
