Quality Improvement

We continually strive to improve our practices and care for the best patient outcomes.

American Board of Pediatrics Roadmap Initiative

Dr. Aliese Sarkissian serves on The American Board of Pediatrics Roadmap Project team which is committed to supporting pediatric patients with chronic conditions, their families, and care teams by increasing awareness for emotional health, creating tools for clinicians, and providing education about existing resources. Dr. Sarkissian is a co-lead on UNC’s team and they have begun to test strategies to measure outcomes using educational theory and quality improvement methodology starting with the division of rheumatology and the primary care clinic. UNC Children’s Hospital is 1 of 9 other institutions participating in this quality improvement collaboration.
