Take the Lead on Healthcare Quality Improvement

About this course: In this course you will learn about the importance of quality in healthcare and how you can contribute by implementing a quality improvement (QI) project to improve processes of care and patient outcomes. You will learn about powerful tools to add to your QI ‘toolbox’ during short lectures and reflective exercises. You will apply these tools to the implementation of a QI project in your own practice setting or an area of personal improvement. At the completion of the course, you will have a storyboard that captures your QI project success to share with others. The QI project will be considered within the context of interprofessional teams and from a systems perspective. The objective of this course is to empower you, the working healthcare professional, to improve your knowledge and skills in the science of quality improvement so that you can take action in your own clinical setting to improve the quality of care for your patients and their families.

Who is this class for: 1) Any healthcare professional interested in improving care at the front-line of practice. 2) Faculty interested in learning more about quality improvement methods 3) Faculty interested in ways to teach quality improvement to students. 4) Students interested in learning more about quality improvement.
