Greetings from SPUC\u2019s Quality Improvement\/Research Committee. Welcome to 2025! We have planned a QI project to meet MOC Part 4 requirements during this calendar year. We hope this opportunity can be helpful in learning quality improvement and relieve some stress of the MOC Part 4 for you.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title of the project is \u201cA multicenter quality improvement project to decrease unneeded abdominal x-rays in pediatric patients with complaint of abdominal pain or constipation during visits to urgent care centers.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need your involvement to make this a \u201cmulticenter\u201d project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever been curious about your personal rate of abdominal x-rays is for patients with abdominal pain and\/or constipation? Now is time to join this project!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 When joining SPUC in this project, you will have support from data collection, data review, run chart development and QI learnings to help with successful PDSA cycles.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our objective for the project is to decrease unnecessary radiographs of patients with abdominal complaints which can facilitate the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Improve financial stewardship by decreasing costs associated with x-rays.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Improve patient safety by reducing unnecessary radiation exposure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Improve efficiency of pediatric urgent care visits by decreasing time spent obtaining unneeded x-rays.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
