Catalog description

This course is an amalgamation of all the content taught within the Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Concentration. Students will have the opportunity to use and apply all of the knowledge and training they have acquired to design, implement, and evaluate a quality improvement initiative within a clinical setting. Students will begin by evaluating the clinical environment and identifying patient safety issues and quality improvement needs. Each student will partner with a healthcare organization to work on a project from measurement and evaluation, through design right through implementation.
