Quality Improvement

Doing well, and getting better, rely on understanding where we are at, where we are going, and the best way to get there. Improvement science provides tools to help us understand and prepare for the journey ahead, while the art of improving is about putting those tools to the best use, and involving the right people to help guide our way. Planning and evaluating is how we know if we are on course, improving is how we course correct if we are off target.
