L 103: Making Publishable QI Projects Part of Everyday Work
Overview
Health care workers often find it challenging to incorporate disciplined quality improvement (QI) into their daily work. Planning, managing, and completing improvement projects with sufficient rigor to generate credible evidence and potentially publishable knowledge are even more difficult. Nonetheless, careful set-up and agile leveraging of existing resources and expertise can lead to surprisingly robust results.
