Utah Quality Advancement Laboratory (UQuAL) Research Nurse Liaison
Problem Statement:
The goal of the UQuAL Research Nurse Liaison is to bridge the tripartite mission of the University of Utah including providing top notch clinical care, advancing research to improve care nationally, and providing outstanding education to clinicians of the future.
However, it is challenging to clearly demonstrate success as a result of operational barriers, inconsistent communication, and difficulty measuring clear outcomes.
Lacking processes to coordinate quality improvement work can lead to stagnant projects, ongoing projects with no clear return on investment, and staff member disengagement.
Furthermore, most external grant submissions require pilot data, yet the infrastructure for hospital-generated pilot data is often lacking. This role will work to address those barriers by bringing together the clinical, quality, and research missions.Type Benefited Staff Special Instructions Summary Additional Information
