| UF Health selected to join U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Medical Network providing care to Team USA athletes |
|
 |
|
Building on a long history of providing health care to athletes at the University of Florida and beyond, UF Health joins a select group of health organizations providing care to Team USA athletes as they prepare for international competition, including the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Elite competitors overcome many challenges to reach the pinnacle of their sport, some of them health or injury-related. While their success is often predicated on perseverance, dedication and commitment — qualities at the core of UF Health, the University of Florida’s academic health center — access to world-class health care is also critically important.
As a member of the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Medical Network, UF Health will offer advanced resources and services to athletes from across the nation, as well as research and professional collaboration with the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee and other providers.

| College launches new tool to improve patient quality and safety |
|
 |
|
As part of the value pillar of the UF College of Medicine’s strategic plan, and a project now housed under the new state-funded Quality and Patient Safety initiative, the MD&A tool will help faculty focused on patient quality and safety better reach desired outcomes. To pilot this project, Colleen Koch, M.D., M.S., M.B.A., dean of the UF College of Medicine, and department chairs invited faculty members to serve as departmental MD&A leads, with the initial cohort including representatives from the departments of neurology, medicine and pathology, immunology and laboratory medicine, as well as UF Health Physicians.
Participants in the first cohort began by using the MD&A framework to select projects they believed would have the greatest impact on patient quality and safety. Then, by using the MD&A template and a safety matrix to document and report on these priority projects, they had a standardized format from which to present at an annual meeting with leadership to enhance accountability.
