This month we are looking at QI Leadership!
Leaders are critical for owning and expanding the quality improvement approach and providing the needed energy for implementation and scale up. Whilst we are not all born leaders, everyone has the potential to lead improvement in their areas. Leaders must be empowered to improve care, to induce others to become leaders, to see the potential of something, honour it, and support others in improving care.
QI Leadership - Where do I start?
If you are a leader in healthcare and you are thinking about implementing Quality Improvement (QI) within your organisation, we’ve gathered together some hints and tips that might be useful before you get started. See how to become a QI leader
