Recently, a number health sciences journals have begun support, and even espouse, the practice group review (GPR). With GPR, multiple work together with permission from editor. Motivated by idea that GPR could provide meaningful service learning experience for participants in an interprofessional educational scholarship course, we conducted three such subsequently...

Abstract Purpose Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) was used to identify ways in which community clinic practices related suboptimal human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates could be improved. Method FMEA is a standardized safety method that helps determine where processes fail, the impact of failures, needed process changes. In quality improvement initiative conducted at an academic health center–based clinic, multidisciplinary team map HPV areas for practices. Risk priority...
