Background: The Ministry of Health and Social Protection (MOHSP) of the Moroccan Kingdom acknowledges the crucial need to improve the quality and safety of care provided to patients. As a result, they have launched a process that involves, developing a conceptual framework and implementing national health policies aimed to enhance services offered to hospital users.
Objective: The aim of this study is to identify all the approaches developed by the MOHSP since 1990 to enhance the quality and safety of care.
Materials And Methods: This study is a descriptive qualitative analysis. The data was collected over a six-month period, through semi-structured interviews with professionals reporting to the MOHSP, and through a document analysis.
Results: The results provide a comprehensive description of approaches to quality and safety of care in the Moroccan health system, the findings reveal that these approaches are based on three complementary strategies: continuous quality improvement, standardization, and safety of care.
Conclusions: The Moroccan health system has implemented various strategies to improve the quality and safety of care. However, these strategies have not been sustained due to several factors. To ensure sustainability, the system needs to invest in capital and resources, involve quality experts in hospitals, use processbased approaches, strengthen legislation and regulations related to quality of care, and translate them into implementing decrees.

Context: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has diverse applications across various clinical specialties, serving as an adjunct to clinical findings and as a tool for increasing the quality of patient care. Owing to its multifunctionality, a growing number of medical schools are increasingly incorporating POCUS training into their curriculum, some offering hands-on training during the first 2 years of didactics and others utilizing a longitudinal exposure model integrated into all 4 years of medical school education. Midwestern University Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine (MWU-AZCOM) adopted a 4-year longitudinal approach to include POCUS education in 2017.

Background: Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have high rates of gastrointestinal bleeding due to several risk factors including platelet dysfunction, comorbid illness, and use of antiplatelet medications. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) reduce gastrointestinal bleeding and are recommended for high-risk patients such as those prescribed dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Whether inappropriate duration of DAPT therapy and/or lack of appropriate PPI use contribute to the known elevated risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in hemodialysis patients is not known.
