Beginning in 2014, the Evidence Based Practice Council of the University of Utah Hospitals and Clinics (UUHC) has sponsored a poster fair that encourages employees and students to share projects and research initiatives. This collection contains posters presented by University of Utah Healthcare employees and students, all of whom have led a quality improvement effort in their department and wanted to share their story.
The Wellness Champion posters are presented by Wellness Champions across departments and divisions of University of Utah Health who implement a practical and evidence-based intervention to improve health and wellness, while measuring the outcome of their efforts. Originally known as the "Resiliency Poster Fair," the program was changed to "Wellness Champion Poster Fair" in 2018.
