This Quality Café will explore how the Matrix defines the core components of quality. It will cover practical ways that the health care system can use the Matrix as a framework for care that is respectful, safe, accessible, appropriate, effective, equitable and efficient for all.

An improvement charter is an important first step when initiating an improvement project. More than just a template, this tool facilitates discussions with project teams and communicates a shared vision. Sharing an example on Sustainability in QI from our Clinician Fellow, Ilona Hale, we will review how using an improvement charter incorporates critical elements for project success.

Looking for a quality improvement tool that will help take your lofty aim and break it down into manageable change ideas? Need a method that will help move your team from vision to action? Searching for an approach that is agile and can change as rapidly as the complex, adaptive systems we work in? Then driver diagrams are the tool for you! In their simplest form, driver diagrams help link high-level improvement goals to specific project activities. In this interactive session, you will have an opportunity to learn more about this powerful tool and start to build the framework for your very own driver diagram.

Are you leading an improvement project and wondering how to get started with your measurement plan?

A measurement plan is a useful tool to identify a family of measures, data collection strategies, how to display data and baseline/target results to achieve the overall aim of the initiative. Join us to learn how to use a measurement plan to successfully drive your quality improvement initiative.

Automated indicators, reports or dashboards are a great resource for monitoring our performance, but often lack the specificity, timeliness or widespread access to support change at the local level.  And they rarely provide the meaningful feedback loop to those delivering care if their efforts to improve are working.  Join this webinar to learn ways of using simple data collection methods – pen and paper by the team at a local level – to get meaningful insight about our improvement efforts.  This small-scale measurement, when defined, collected and shared by the care team, can ensure an outsized impact on improvement efforts through team engagement.
