Introducing QI

This interactive didactic uses videos, reflections and activities to introduce the basics of Quality Improvement, LEAN and Model for Improvement methodology. Also includes activities on SMART aims, outcome/process/balancing measures, and change concepts.

Special Instructor Notes: Introducing QI is not meant to be taught in combination with the Simulated QI Project as materials will be somewhat redundant. This is for those programs looking to only give a single hour lecture to QI and its basic principles.
