Quality Improvement Plan vs Program – What is the difference

Quality improvement is an ongoing process of finding better ways to do things. Once gaps in patient safety are identified and objectives set, a system with right framework must be put in place. Why? Because planning – with deadlines, roles, and targets – is essential. Without it, practitioners might focus too deeply in one area and waste efforts. The result? A tired staff doing too many things at once. Very little gets accomplished.

However, quality program is much more than tables with tasks and responsibilities. It requires a thoughtful and systematic approach, and other elements must be put in place.
