B (2) Special Interest Skills:

A. 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:

1. Medical Services Department 7. Directorate of Information Technology &

Electronics Health Records

2. OPD & Patient Services 8. Medical Supplies & Medical Equipment

3. Department of Nursing Services 9. Follow-up & Monitoring

4. Infection Control Department 10. Allied Medical Services

5. Transportation Department 11. Support Services Department

6. Directorate of Academic Affairs &

Training 12. Administration & Finance

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 hospital-wide

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 o Inpatient o Outpatient

Patient Safety Culture

B. 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.

C. 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.

D. 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
