## Staff engagement, QI during the pandemic, and Life QI dashboards

Staff engagement has shown to be a key factor in the success of quality improvement techniques. A growing number of organisations are increasing staff involvement for a sustainable approach to QI. This month we looked at the impact of staff engagement in QI and how patient care can be enhanced by engaging healthcare staff in improvement.

 

Also featured this month is an article showcasing the themes of improvement work undertaken by the Life QI community during the pandemic. Check out the article to learn about the overall themes as well as a few specific examples from successful projects.

 

And finally - we have just released a series of articles outlining how analytics dashboards can be used to power your QI governance. Dive into the articles for some great tips and videos!
