The mission of the Quality and Informatics Lab (QUIL) at UCSF is to improve patient outcomes; we use EHR data to develop and test measures of quality and medication safety. The lab is part of the Division of Rheumatology in the Department of Medicine at UCSF, and is funded by the Agency for Research and Healthcare Quality (AHRQ), the National Institutes of Health (NIAMS), and the Rosalind Russell/Ephraim P. Engleman Rheumatology Research Center. We have offices across several campuses of UCSF, including ZSFG, Mission Bay, and the SF VA Hospital.

We are hiring!

AHRQ – "ASPIRE"

The ASPIRE project aims to improve patient safety for individuals using high-risk immunosuppressive medications. The proposed research will contribute novel information about emerging patient safety errors, rigorously evaluate a registry-based healthcare quality measurement program, and create the first toolkit to address ambulatory patient safety for immune-mediated diseases.

NIAMS – “QORA"

Impact of Registry Use on Quality and Outcomes in Rheumatology. The RISE national patient registry has broken new ground in connecting rheumatology practices around the country in a large data network, measuring quality, and providing continuous feedback on clinical performance. In this study we will use audit logs to examine registry dashboard use patterns and perform qualitative studies with practice personnel. We hypothesize that more intensive use of the dashboard will be associated with larger improvements in clinical outcomes and quality of care.

PREMIER Center – NIAMS P30

The Clinical Data and Informatics Core (CDI) Core will provide researchers with access to a full range of services to facilitate successful use of clinical data for basic, clinical and translational research studies in rheumatic diseases. The Core will streamline clinical research infrastructure, including study design, research ethics consultation, patient recruitment, clinical informatics and disease expertise, to advance precision medicine in rheumatic disease.

California Lupus Epidemiology Study (CLUES) – CDC U01

The longitudinal California Lupus Epidemiology Study (CLUES) cohort is derived from the California Lupus Surveillance Project (CLSP), a CDC-funded population-based registry. Clinical data, biologic specimens, and patient-reported outcomes are collected to advance our understanding of lupus biology, epidemiology and outcomes.

VA HSR&D Measurement Science QUERI at the SFVA
This center aims to implement evidence based practices across the VA Healthcare System. The goal of our project is to build and implement dashboards for audit and feedback to prescribers around medication safety for disease modifying agents.
