Think back to when you first identified the quality improvement issue for your Course Project SEE ATTACHMENT
What insights related to quality measurement, improvement strategies, and evaluation have you gained since then? How have these insights informed your view of the issue and shaped your understanding of how to promote positive outcomes for your selected organization? How would you suggest the organization proceed based on the outcomes of your investigation?
In this section of the Course Project, you synthesize your analysis and recommendations into an action plan for implementing the quality improvement initiative.
To prepare:
Begin to develop a plan for implementing your quality improvement initiative, including the redesigned process that you identified in Section 3. Consider the following:
How would you undertake the process of determining a timeline for planning, implementing, and evaluating this quality improvement plan?
What are some reasonable milestones for this initiative? What are the daily, weekly, monthly steps/goals?
To complete:
Write a 2- to 3-page summary of your quality improvement action plan.

To prepare:
Review the information on evaluation, including data representation and quality monitoring, presented in the Learning Resources.
Review your work on the Course Project SEE ATTACHMENT
Think about how your quality improvement initiative could be evaluated. Consider the following:
Which stakeholders need information related to this initiative? What do they need this information for?
How would you assess the outcomes in the short-term and long-term?

How should an analysis of organizational structures be integrated into your evaluation?
How would you identify and evaluate any unintended consequences that may arise?
What metrics should the organization use to gauge progress and the effectiveness of the quality improvement initiative? How would these metrics incorporate the measures and indicators that you identified in Section 3? Are there additional measures and indicators that you now think should be included?
How should the organization track and display data for an interdisciplinary audience? How could the use of a dashboard or balanced scorecard be of value?
How could the organization create an integrated view of performance that links finance and quality?

To complete:
Develop a 2- to 3-page evaluation plan that includes the following:
An outline of the methods that you would propose for evaluating the quality improvement initiative and the financial implications
A description of specific metrics that integrate your previously identified measures and indicators and any others that you have deemed important
A recommendation of how the organization could represent data related to this quality improvement issue for ongoing monitoring and to determine the value or success of the initiative
