Getting started

Linda Allen, director of quality systems in the UF Health Sebastian Ferrero Office of Clinical Quality and Patient Safety, helped the UF College of Veterinary medicine set up their quality-improvement program.
"We modeled it off of our system for human patients, then changed it to fit their needs."

Gareth Buckley, UF Small Animal Hospital medical director, has been integral in helping the College of Veterinary medicine implement quality-improvement initiatives.
"We’re all just trying to answer the same question — how do we improve care for our patients?”
