Healthcare Quality and Safety
The Department of Pediatrics performs, supports and trains in improvement science and partners with Northwestern University for more comprehensive training. Healthcare quality and safety initiatives are critical to providing optimal healthcare as well as reducing variations of care which will facilitate greater learning in all forms of research. Faculty involved in these initiatives help train medical students, residents and fellows in quality and safety.
Advocacy is central to our mission, so that each child has the opportunity to reach his or her full potential. Several advocacy initiatives at Lurie Children's also strive to keep communities safe for children and families.
