Health Services QI Methods

Course Description

This course aims to provide a broad overview of current trends, core concepts, and methods in quality improvement (QI) and demonstrate their application to healthcare and public health. The course focuses on application, and includes didactic instruction, group discussions, and individual and group projects. Approximately 3 hours of preparatory work (e.g. reading and worksheets, on-line learning modules) prior to each session should be anticipated. The course will be employing a “flipped classroom”, team-based learning approach (see Michaelson et al, Team-based Learning, 2002) for additional information on this approach). The the first seven sessions will focus on concept-and skill-building; the second five sessions will examine QI trends and broad applications within healthcare and public health.
