Implementing a quality performance improvement (QPI) plan for educational interventions helps educators measure patient care outcomes. This approach validates the educator's role and clarifies the application of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations' 10-step process.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Education
  • Quality Improvement Science
  • Patient Care Outcomes

Background:

  • Measuring the impact of educational interventions poses a significant challenge for educators.
  • The evolving role of educators in healthcare necessitates robust methods for evaluating their impact on patient care.
  • Existing quality improvement frameworks may not fully address educational processes and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an education-based Quality Performance Improvement (QPI) plan.
  • To demonstrate the application of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) 10-step process within an educational context.
  • To validate the educator's role in measuring and improving patient care outcomes through systematic evaluation.

Main Methods:
