New resource hub delivers free quality improvement tools for Florida healthcare professionals
Medicine is a constantly evolving field, with new treatments, technologies and techniques aiming to make patients’ most challenging days better. For the healthcare teams behind it all, University of Florida experts have created Knowledgebase, a free, one-stop resource hub centralizing the tools busy health professionals need to conduct their own quality improvement initiatives.
Built in collaboration between the UF College of Medicine Quality and Patient Safety initiative, or QPSi, and the UF College of Education, Knowledgebase’s online resources are now available to any healthcare professional or trainee working in Florida, including nurses, physicians, physician assistants, administrators, residents and students.
“What we aim to do is put all of this at the fingertips of clinicians and learners so they can embark on doing this important quality improvement work,” said Nila Radhakrishnan, M.D., a professor, chief of the Division of Hospital Medicine in the Department of Medicine and assistant dean for quality and safety applications with QPSi. “Sometimes, the barrier can be structure or how to get started. Our hope is that with Knowledgebase, we’re making it easier.”
