Outcomes of an Equity, Quality Improvement, and Patient Safety (EQuIPS) Curriculum in Community Hospital-Based Family Medicine Residency Program.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Patient safety, quality improvement, and health equity training in graduate medical education are important. However, effective curriculum development in these complex domains remains challenging. Objective: To evaluate the impact of EQuIPS (Equity, Quality Improvement, and Patient Safety), a mandatory, longitudinal curriculum for family medicine residents using Kirkpatrick Model of evaluation. Method: This study employed a quasi-experimental design across three phases (pre-EQuIPS, during EQuIPS rollout, post-EQuIPS) with retrospective data collection. We analyzed data from residents graduating from academic years 2016 through 2024 where EQuIPS was implemented a multifaceted bundled intervention. The outcomes were measured using Kirkpatrick Levels 2, 3, and 4 defined as completion of certification, reported participation in projects, and leadership of projects demonstrated by presentation or publication. Demographics between the three groups were evaluated using the Chi-squared test for comparability. Statistical Process Control (SPC) charts were used for 3-phase analysis, while Kruskal-Wallis, Wilcoxon rank sum tests, and Poisson regression analysis were applied to draw inferences of association. Results: A total of 51 residents graduated in the study period. The three groups were comparable with regards to gender or race while medical school background was significant ( Conclusion: The EQuIPS curriculum was associated with enhanced resident competency in equity, quality improvement, and patient safety. This model is a potentially valuable framework for other residency programs aiming to meet accreditation requirements and improvement and promote continuous improvement.
