Abstract

Quality Improvement has gone from practice by practice piecework to an industry driven by expertise that lies within corporate offices rather than within patient care. Using for her 20 years of experience leading and teaching quality improvement as a lens, the author makes the case for quality improvement teams to ensure a key role for clinicians and direct care staff who are closest to the patients and the improvements that need to be made.
