Over three years, the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Tucson has revolutionized its LCME accreditation and strategic planning processes using a software solution built with Microsoft apps and Power BI. This solution is referred to as the Strategic Planning Submission and Reporting Dashboard (SPEED). SPEED automates data collection and reporting, increasing user engagement by 50% and preloading 80% of data for verification and future goal projection. By consolidating data from eight mission areas, SPEED reduces administrative burdens, fosters continuous improvement, and has sparked interest in departmental-level adoption. This session explores how SPEED streamlines accreditation efforts, enhances accountability, and can be adapted at other institutions.
This webinar was developed from a session that was previously presented during the 2025 IT in Academic Medicine Conference, sponsored by the GIR. The GIP is collaborating with the GIR on this webinar.
