title: Leveraging EMR functionality to improve patient care.
abstract: Querying patient electronic medical records to improve patient care and process outcomes can seem overwhelming. Our quality improvement model is a simple, user-friendly approach to make quality improvement tasks less daunting. We have successfully used the quality improvement model, written meaningful reports, and given provider feedback that has led to measurable improvements in our clinical and operational performance.
