Special Interest Skills Quality Management As an expert in Quality Management both education and healthcare services, I have taught and implemented hospital policies, protocols, regulations, standards and accreditation measures, using examples from US and UK hospital settings and applying these to Saudi Arabia. I have been involved in the continuous evaluation of healthcare services, conducting surveys that measure patient and employee satisfaction as well as service accessibility. I also created a CQI background in various university hospitals in Saudi Arabia, and have implemented many quality improvement programs, advising faculty members and hospital employees on a consultancy basis, facilitating communication processes, recruiting, supervising and training staff, and designing and documenting processes, policies and procedures in order to bring departments into full regulatory compliance with the Joint Commission of Health Organization regulations and standards on Quality Healthcare. My work included the invention and implementation of two hospital management courses as well as courses in ‘Leadership’, ‘An Introduction to Quality Management’ and ‘Health Information Management’ at the University of Dammam. As the Director of the Directorate of Quality & Safety at King Fahd Hospital of the University (KFHU): Policies & Procedures: In collaboration with all the departments’ chairpersons, directors and appropriate responsible personnel, I initiated the development, writing and extensively editing the following:

Infection Control Department

Directorate of Academic Affairs & Training
Directorate of Information Technology & Electronics Health Records

Quality Management
Risk Management: I initiated the establishing of the Risk Management Unit at KFHU. Under my leadership, all occurrence variances are encourage to be reported at KFHU and as an organization, I established a common understanding of what constitutes an untoward incident. An Occurrence Variance Reporting (OVR) System was introduced to provide a systematic, standardize hospitalwide mechanism to identify and/or develop prevention/improvement programs which have direct or indirect adverse effect on patient care; and which represent a potential hazard to patients, visitors, employees or the facility as quality improvement approach. Key Performance Indicator (KPI): In collaboration with the departments’ of KFHU, I have established and implemented KPIs for all areas with measurable performance. In 2013, the total KPI that was identified was 21 and 16 were implemented. This number was increased in 2014 as 97 KPIs were identified and 34 were implemented. Hospital-wide Surveys: During my leadership, I have successfully concluded and reported the following: Patient Satisfaction Survey Inpatient Outpatient Patient Safety Culture
Medical Education and Healthcare: As a faculty member and expert consultant on the design, implementation, assessment and evaluation of various curriculum developments in medical and healthcare education, my work has involved research and collaboration with university departments in order to maintain high standards of quality in medical and professional development. I am especially interested in problem-based learning and other innovative teaching and learning methods; using various research methods, I have worked with faculty members at several medical education institutions in order to tailor courses to both students and faculty, and to provide adequate training in both teaching and study skills. Being concerned to provide education programs that are practical and not based solely on lectures, I invented a ‘Learning Skills’ course that was implemented by several universities and enables students to gain important laboratory skills. I have also developed instructional materials in healthcare for both undergraduate and postgraduate education, and provide advice to both students and faculty regarding these and other learning resources. Finally, I have been involved in the ongoing evaluation of education at various medical, dental and health science schools, and have written various academic grant proposals for universities wishing to carry out research.er was increased in 2014 as 97 KPIs were identified and 34 were implemented.
14 14
Performance Analysis I also had special interest in medical biostatistics utilizing powerful statistical software such as SPSS, MINITAB and NVIVO to analyze results from mixed methodology research, I have been able to analyze quantitative and qualitative data using statistical methods that include regression, t-test, non-parametric test, one-way, two-way and three-way ANOVA, factorial analysis, etc.
15
Management & Leadership Skills I also have the abilities to lead, establish and manage various Deanships, Administrative Departments, Units, and Centers at University of Dammam. With my proven experience and leadership skills, I re-established the Public Relations and Information Department of the University of Dammam in year 2007 to 2011. I manage and lead successfully the following deanship, departments, unit and center: Self-Operation Health Services Program Reorganized Mohammad Al-Mana College for Health Sciences Deanship of Quality & Academic Accreditation, University of Dammam Directorate of Quality & Safety, King Fahd Hospital of the University Center for Counseling and Advising, University of Dammam Quality and Planning Unit, King Faisal University Assisted in the establishing of the College of Dentistry Established and founded the program of Medical Secretary & Transcription Program Directorate of Academic Affairs & Training, King Fahd Hospital of the University
