Each workshop incorporates a series of 10 steps that build a team's understanding of quality improvement using evidence-based tools and realistic improvement opportunities. The workshop's collaborative approach parallels the team-based nature of healthcare, giving groups the language, skills, and tools needed to carry out their first improvement project.

The learning objectives are that participants, using simulated or real-life quality improvement opportunities, will be able to:

• Work together as teams
• Use quality improvement (QI) tools
• Plan QI activities in their facilities and communities
• Explain the EPIQ 10 Steps and tools to new learners (if taking a train-the-trainer workshop)
  
  

In each 4-6 hour workshop you will learn:

• Why improvement science is valuable in health care and everyday life
• Gain expertise on the QI process and understand how to implement it in your context
• Establish a stronger understanding of your opportunities for change
• Break down implementation into achievable steps
• Get a handle on the logistics: plans, team creation, measurement, and more
