This panel presentation will provide a high-intensity introduction to QI, including methods for 1) identifying and targeting an improvement effort, 2) performing process analysis, and 3) displaying and analyzing data. During the session, audience members can begin working through a QI initiative with guidance from presenters and will be given handouts and resources to take back to their clinical practice.OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 1: describe the necessary components for a successful quality improvement initiativeOUTCOME OBJECTIVE 2: develop and select an aim statement, measures, and change concepts to drive improvement workOUTCOME OBJECTIVE 3: understand both run and control charts and interpret each for common cause and special cause variationBACKGROUND STATEMENT: Otolaryngologists are not routinely taught how to diagnose and treat systems in health care.
