Why is Qi important?

Engaging primary care practices in quality improvement (QI) activities is essential to achieving the triple aim of improving the health of the population, enhancing patient experiences and outcomes, and reducing the per capita cost of care, and to improving provider experience.

Who should be on the QI team?

The optimal size of a QI team is between five and eight individuals, although this may vary by practice. The most important requirement is not size, but diversity of the participants.

What role does the nurse play in the QI study?

A: The role of professional nurses in quality improvement (QI) is twofold: to carry out interdisciplinary processes to meet organizational QI goals and to measure, improve, and control nursing-sensitive indicators (NSI) affecting patient outcomes specific to nursing practices.
