You have a great idea for an improvement project to reduce infection rates at your organization. You and your team have created a meaningful aim, crafted a useful set of measures, and brainstormed several creative change ideas to test in the coming months. There’s support from leadership, energy from staff, and excitement around every corner. You’re ready to go!
Except for one thing — now you need to successfully manage the project.
Managing a quality improvement project is a critical skill for anyone interested in making care — and systems — better where they work. But for many in health care, project management is not a full-time job. In fact, there’s a sizable gap between coming up with a great idea for a project and guiding a team to successful, meaningful improvements. Bridging that gap is what we discussed on this WIHI.
Whether you’re about to manage your first improvement project or your 50th, whether you manage teams of four or teams of 40, this episode of WIHI will show you the strategies you can test and use immediately, examples you can share with colleagues, and valuable tools you can bring to your next quality improvement project.

Communication Community and Organizational Partnerships Community Engagement Program evaluation Quality Improvement Strategic Planning
In an effort to support the Healthy Start Community to achieve the Healthy Start benchmark to establish a quality improvement and performance monitoring process, the EPIC Center will be launching 6-7 peer learning networks (PLNs) each targeting a Healthy Start benchmark. The PLNs will be co-facilitated by members from the Healthy Start Grantee Community and the EPIC Center. Participating Healthy Start programs will identify a Healthy Start benchmark to target for improved performance, form a quality improvement (QI) team at their service site, engage agency administrators in their efforts, develop and implement a QI project plan, and identify and collect performance measures for monitoring impact. QIPLNs will meet on a monthly basis for nine months (February – October). Participating Healthy Start programs will identify two QI Leads to attend monthly QIPLN calls from February to October and to facilitate a QI team to design and implement a QI project at their agency. QIPLN meetings will afford participants the opportunity to collaborate and share their experiences, the strategies they are testing, their QI goals and objectives, and their progress with peers.
