Developing a measurement strategy to assess quality is difficult yet necessary for organizations interested in improvement. A well-crafted measurement system will help direct decisions about where improvement is needed and when improvement has occurred. This session will provide a framework and practical recommendations for drafting such a system. Exercises will demonstrate the application of measurement principles to healthcare topics.

After this session, participants will be able to:

  • Identify and build useful measures
  • Link measurement efforts and improvement strategies
  • Appreciate how statistical process control methods, including control charts, can be useful for understanding performance throughout their system
