Module 8
To sustain improvement, teams can take small but meaningful steps, like adding a daily check-in, launching a short review study, or pairing experienced staff with newcomers, that strengthen systems over time. These ‘small acts of improvement’ build momentum and, over time, create a culture where continuous improvement becomes part of everyday work.
🚀 Action Step
Choose one practical QI activity you can launch within the next week. Focus on a small, manageable change that encourages learning and fits naturally into your team's workflow.
Examples include:
- Holding a 5-minute safety huddle
- Reviewing a small sample of patient charts
- Conducting a brief workflow observation
- Pairing a new team member with an experienced mentor
- Completing a Key Collaborator Analysis
- Building a Collaborator Grid
- Creating an Action Plan
Start small, learn from the experience, and build from there.
