Publication shines on new, modern website

Q Report adopts user-friendly web platform

By Laura Castro

The Q Report recently debuted a fresh web presence for patients, visitors, faculty and staff. Visit the website at qreport.health.ufl.edu to see how the new platform provides a modern, engaging experience for online readers.

The Q Report is a publication that features the latest news and updates about quality and patient safety initiatives happening throughout our system. We highlight teams who go above and beyond to improve patient care, share feedback from our patients and applaud our Great Catch Award winners — faculty and staff who intervene to identify and solve a problem before it impacts our patient care.

The UF Health IT-Communications Web Services team created the new web platform, known as Chronos, entirely in-house and conducted training sessions for the writers, editors and designers who use it. Other publications using the new platform include this UF Health Shands News+Notes internal newsletter (news-notes.UFHealth.org) and the UF College of Medicine Florida Physician faculty and alumni magazine (floridaphysician.med.ufl.edu), which are also produced by UF Health Communications.

“The primary goal of Chronos was to create a publication framework for modern, rich and engaging content at UF Health,” said Bill Columbia, Web Services senior web designer. “It empowers content creators with custom typography, colors and layouts. Bringing this level of control to UF Health communicators will help differentiate our content and push the envelope of what’s possible for publishing on the web today.”
