A Primer for Assessing Your Clinical Practice Using Quality Improvement (AMW) Session
2021 AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting & OTO Experience
To build sufficient capability and capacity in quality improvement (QI), otolaryngology providers must be proficient in its key principles, yet it can be difficult to obtain training due to time and resource constraints. This panel presentation will provide a high-intensity introduction to QI, including methods for 1) identifying and targeting an improvement effort, 2) performing process analysis, and 3) displaying and analyzing data. During the session, audience members can begin working through a QI initiative with guidance from presenters and will be given handouts and resources to take back to their clinical practice.
