Week One Preparation

For the first week of the program, please come prepared (if possible) with the following:

• Title of your Quality Improvement Project
• Why you selected this project (why it is important)
• Who will be on the team
• A simple global mission statement for your project
• Preliminary data for project evaluation

These steps are the beginning steps of the quality project. You will use each of these steps in a PowerPoint presentation summarizing your project. During the fourth week each participant will present their quality improvement project in a PowerPoint presentation.  They will illustrate their quality improvement project and its results. Each presentation will be allotted 15 minutes with 5 minutes of Q&A after and will give fellow classmates a wide range of applications.
