this.

Overview of Improvement
– Success is defined as improving how we safely meet the needs of
our patients
– Focus on processes, not blaming others
– Success depends on gathering and using data and information to
identify changes and to learn from testing them out
– Using rapid small changes engages staff and creates continuous
improvement
– Success requires collaboration and innovation from team members
working together
– Combining professional knowledge with improvement knowledge is
very powerful for providing safer and better care
