Leadership and Management Performance/Quality Improvement (PI/QI) Project. As pa

Leadership and Management Performance/Quality Improvement (PI/QI) Project. As part of its ongoing commitment to practice improvement in health care, healthcare professions leadership and management need the skill set to perform continuous quality improvements to enhance performance. A growing body of evidence indicates that practice facilitation, based on creating an ongoing, trusting relationship between an external facilitator and a primary care practice, is an effective strategy to improve primary health care processes and outcomes. Practice facilitation activities may focus on helping primary care practices become, for example, patient-centered medical homes. Still, they can also help practices in more general quality improvement and redesign efforts.
In health care, quality improvement (QI) is the framework we use to improve how care is delivered to patients systematically. Processes have characteristics that can be measured, analyzed, improved, and controlled. QI entails continuous efforts to achieve stable and predictable process results, that is, to reduce process variation and improve the outcomes of these processes both for patients and the healthcare organization and system. Achieving sustained QI requires commitment from the entire organization, particularly from top-level management in collaboration with interdisciplinary teams (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2013).
Quality Improvement (QI) or Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI): A management technique to assess and improve internal operations. QI focuses on organizational systems rather than individual performance and seeks to enhance quality rather than correcting errors when safety thresholds are crossed. The process involves setting goals, implementing systematic changes, measuring outcomes, and making subsequent appropriate improvements.
Performance Improvement (PI) is an approach to the continuous study and improvement of providing healthcare services to meet the needs of patients and others.
