Working alongside each other QIClearn will support you to design, test and implement meaningful improvements in 16 weeks. The Improve ONE thing ethos is about providing the right balance of theory and practice. So, we focus on the practical elements of improvement science and how improvement works on the ground in your healthcare context.
This approach is supplemented by online learning which is designed to be ‘bite-sized’ and manageable for busy professionals. Our instructors will support you to identify and describe a problem that you would like to work on, practice using quality improvement tools and techniques, implement small cycles of change and measure whether your changes have made a difference to patient care.
Your work will be supported by a group of mentors who drawn from your own organisations with experience in using quality improvement methods in emergency services. Their local expertise is also invaluable to the long-term sustainability of your improvements.
