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

9

▪ 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

to 2011. I manage and lead successfully the following deanship, departments, unit and center:

▪ 2015- Self-Operation Health Services Program
