Optimizing Clinical Engagement in QI for Organizational Improvement and Maintenance of Certification

Healthcare organizations are working to engage clinicians in quality improvement at scale while reducing administrative burden, spreading successful initiatives, and demonstrating measurable value.

Join leaders from the University of Hawai‘i John A. Burns School of Medicine, the American Board of Medical Specialties, and Ovid® Synthesis for an in-depth discussion on building a sustainable physician quality improvement program. Learn how the recognition framework of ABMS and the evidence-based workflow capabilities of Ovid Synthesis can support a more coordinated approach to improvement.

During this webinar, panelists will explore how to

• Make QI participation more meaningful and manageable for clinicians through Maintenance of Certification credit and AI-assisted tools for evidence review and project development.
• Scale successful projects across departments and service lines using a nationally recognized framework and standardized platform.
• Simplify project coaching, documentation, approvals, and reporting through integrated workflows.
• Demonstrate impact on physician engagement, resident education, value-based care, and workforce development.

The session will also include a demonstration of Ovid Synthesis, showing how organizations can streamline evidence review, project management, collaboration, reporting, and dissemination in a single platform.

Register to learn practical strategies for connecting physician engagement, professional development, quality improvement, and organizational goals.
