DOHA: Hamad Medical Corporation’s (HMC) flagship quality improvement conference for healthcare professionals — the Middle East Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare — has received high number of entries for its poster competition.
The increasingly popular competition had nearly 400 submissions of posters outlining quality improvement projects from Qatar and the region. A total of 261 posters were assessed by an international panel of judges who warranted their inclusion in the competition and exhibition.
In the Transforming Clinical Systems of Care category, Ambulatory Healthcare Services of the UAE; and King Abdulaziz Hospital; the Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, Al Ahsa, Saudi Arabia, were announced joint winners.
Women’s Hospital of HMC won in the Leadership for Improvement and Patient Engagement categories and Enaya Specialised Care Centre in the Transforming Clinical Interventions category.
The competition also invited conference delegates to submit votes for the poster they rated most highly, with the public choice award eliciting over 5,000 votes in one day. Hamad General Hospital won the Science of Improvement criteria of the competition and the People’s Choice winners were HMC’s Rumailah Hospital, HGH, Women’s Hospital, Al Wakra Hospital and Enaya Specialised Care Centre.
“It is wonderful to see over 3,700 people, mainly doctors, nurses and allied health professionals, coming together at the forum to celebrate best practice, share ideas and learn from each other,” said Dr Abdullatif Al Khal, Deputy Chief Medical Officer and Co-Chair of the forum. Winners and runners-up were awarded certificates in a ceremony on the final day of the conference. Improvement initiatives were peer-reviewed by over 30 judges who were looking for innovative and practical initiatives that demonstrated effective implementation of best-practice quality improvement principles.
