Quality Improvement
• Quality Improvement (QI) is an integrative process that links knowledge, structures, processes and outcomes to enhance quality throughout an organization.
-National Committee for Quality Assurance

Why QI?
• In a time of decreased funding and increased demand, QI can help answer key questions in public health: – Are we using our resources (staff, money, time) in
the best way?• We often hear “work smarter, not harder”
– Are we getting the intended outcomes?

Are we actually improving the health of the public in the most
effective and efficient way possible?
And if not, how can we do it better?

QA & QI -They are not the same!!!
Quality Assurance:

• Regulatory• Led by management• One point at a time
Quality Improvement:• Proactive – works on
processes before problems occur
• Self-determined
• Led by staff
• Continuous
• Exceeds expectations
