Quality Improvement Plan vs Program – What is the difference

Quality Improvement Plan vs Program:
What is the Difference and Why Should We Care?

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.
