1.00The last phase of the continuous improvement cycle is “improve”. This is where the magic happens and steps to improve can be discovered! Using learnings from the reflection process during “plan”, key areas of focus are identified and steps for improving those focus areas are planned. Creating action steps allow for accountability and connects an organization’s last step in the cycle to their first step in the next round of quality improvement. Participants who have attended all prior webinars in the series will benefit the most from this session.
