Abstract

Documenting and reviewing resident and fellow scholarly activity within a sponsoring institution can be a laborious task. With multiple lines of information coming from a wide variety of sources, this problem of practice implemented the Information Systems Success Model to help develop a database by which this information can be collected in a way that is efficient while maintaining the need for a user-friendly product. While other healthcare entities have also incorporated this model into their scholarly activity collection, these are still individual needs of the sponsoring institution and its constituents to consider when adapting the strategy. Using an improvement science approach, this study provides an overview of the work done at a large academic health system in the southeastern portion of the country. This strategy implemented a root cause analysis, and three PDSA (Plan, Do, Study, Act) cycle to help build and launch a resident and fellow scholarly activity database and process document. Based on the success of this project, the improvement team outlines several additional processes within the institution that could be improved upon with the addition of improvement science methods moving forward.
