ABOUT MELISSA CARASSUS
As a Director of Patient Safety at UCSF, I leverage my credentials as a Quality Delivery System (QDS) Lean Certified and Certified Professional in Healthcare Risk Management to improve patient safety and quality across the organization. With over 5 years of experience in risk management and patient safety, I have worked with UCHealth and Sutter Health to develop and implement effective strategies and policies to prevent and mitigate adverse events, ensure compliance, and enhance patient safety and satisfaction. I have also acquired skills and knowledge in neurology, orthopedics and transplant, which allow me to provide specialized support and guidance to these clinical areas. My mission is to foster a culture of safety and excellence that aligns with UCSF\'s values and goals. I enjoy collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, stakeholders, and patients to identify and address potential risks, gaps, and opportunities for improvement. I am passionate about learning and sharing best practices, innovations, and evidence-based solutions to advance patient safety and quality in healthcare.
