The University of California's Center for Health Quality and Innovation has awarded fellowships to two UCLA physicians who are working on projects to improve the quality and value of care
Dr. Robin Clarke, medical director for quality for the UCLA Faculty Practice Group and assistant clinical professor of general internal medicine, received a UC Health Fellowship for her project, "Engaging Faculty: A Forum for Value-Based Improvement." Another recipient, Dr. Anne Lin, assistant professor-in-residence of colorectal surgery, is working on "Implementation of an Organized Process of Care Program for Facilitating Discharge Transition."
They were among 10 recipients from five UC campuses to be awarded the yearlong UC Health Fellowships, intended to build leadership skills and address a range of projects, including ones to increase access to specialty care, expand the use of telehealth and enhance patient recovery after surgery.
The fellows' institutions will receive a $50,000 award that will support a portion of the salary and benefits associated with their time spent on their projects. Fellows will receive mentorship from their campuses and will meet with the other fellows and leadership from all five UC medical center campuses.
