This Health Care Quality Improvement (HQI) elective provides medical students with an opportunity to be part of a team and use their knowledge and creativity to conceptualize and present a Health care or Medical Education quality improvement project plan in an interprofessional environment and participate in an existing Quality Improvement project. In Health-Care, Quality Improvement (QI) is the framework we use to systematically improve the ways care is delivered to patients and QI entails continuous efforts to achieve stable and predictable process results and improve the outcomes of these processes both for patients and the health care organization and system. The quality improvement principles can be applied to improve processes in Health-Care and Medical Education.
