Description

During this interactive session on the fundamentals of quality improvement, participants will be placed into artificial care teams in order to work through the steps of the model for improvement. These artificial care teams will work to improve the care processes at a fictional CF care center at which patient outcomes have been declining. The participants will then apply lessons learned to a process for their own CF center.

Learning Objectives:

• Develop a process and an outcome aim statement and run chart for each.
• Create a process map with change ideas and rapid cycles of change.
• Prepare a description of a process improvement for your own center.
