  • University of Chicago Medicine
    University of Chicago Medicine Background “The University of Chicago Medicine (UChicago Medicine), with a history dating to 1927, is a not-for-profit academic medical health system based on the campus of the University of Chicago in Hyde Park, and with hospitals, outpatient clinics and physician practices throughout Chicago and its suburbs. UChicago Medicine unites five organizations to fulfill its tripartite mission of medical education, research and patient care: Pritzker School of Medicine, Biological Sciences Division, Medical Center, Community Health and Hospital Division, and UChicago Medicine Physicians.”1 Problem In July 2015, UChicago Medicine leaders sponsored a quality improvement initiative Vineet Arora, MD, MAAP to reduce overuse of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) infusion among patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) via the Choosing Wisely Challenge.2 While continuous infusion of PPIs is recommended in these patients for specific situations, such as before endoscopic identification of ulcers with high-risk features, many times PPI infusions may be continued for 72 hours without indication. Solution UChicago Medicine launched a Choosing Wisely challenge to crowdsource overuse reduction initiatives, successfully building infrastructure for more than 10 projects. The Choosing Wisely Challenge was a “trainee-led, institution- supported, interdisciplinary intervention based on the ‘Culture, Oversight, Systems Change, Training (COST) framework.’”3 “In 2014, as leaders, we worked on a plan to have front-line clinicians, including nurses and residents, submit ideas to improve value and reduce waste throughout UChicago Medicine. We titled this initiative the ‘Choosing Wisely Challenge,’ so that we could provide a tool and guide for people to initiate where to start,” said Vineet Arora, MD, MAPP, Associate Chief Medical Officer-Clinical Learning Environment.

  • Report of the Committee on Freedom of Expression
    Report of the Committee on Freedom of Expression The Committee on Freedom of Expression at the University of Chicago was appointed in July 2014 by President Robert J. Zimmer and Provost Eric D. Isaacs “in light of recent events nationwide that have tested institutional commitments to free and open discourse.” The Committee’s charge was to draft a statement “articulating the University’s overarching commitment to free, robust, and uninhibited debate and deliberation among all members of the University’s community.” The Committee has carefully reviewed the University’s history, examined events at other institutions, and consulted a broad range of individuals both inside and outside the University. This statement reflects the long-standing and distinctive values of the University of Chicago and affirms the importance of maintaining and, indeed, celebrating those values for the future. From its very founding, the University of Chicago has dedicated itself to the preservation and celebration of the freedom of expression as an essential element of the University’s culture. In 1902, in his address marking the University’s decennial, President William Rainey Harper declared that “the principle of complete freedom of speech on all subjects has from the beginning been regarded as fundamental in the University of Chicago” and that “this principle can neither now nor at any future time be called in question.” Thirty years later, a student organization invited William Z. Foster, the Communist Party’s candidate for President, to lecture on campus. This triggered a storm of protest from critics both on and off campus. To those who condemned the University for allowing the event, President Robert M.
