Advanced Quality Improvement Strategies and Tools

Based on our recent survey, the following gaps have been identified and need to be addressed through this course:

• Limited understanding of the fundamental principles and benefits of QI strategies.
• Solution: Provide comprehensive training on the definition and importance of QI to establish a solid foundation.
• Difficulty in applying PDSA cycles effectively in real-world projects.
• Solution: Offer hands-on workshops and case studies that demonstrate the application of PDSA cycles in various scenarios.
• Inadequate skills in conducting thorough Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
• Solution: Include detailed sessions on RCA techniques, followed by practical exercises to reinforce learning. 
• Lack of expertise in prioritizing failure modes using FMEA.
• Solution: Teach participants how to prioritize failure modes by analyzing severity, occurrence, and detection ratings through interactive exercises.
• Challenges in interpreting flowcharts and process maps to identify improvement areas.
• Solution: Conduct practical sessi

• Describe the key principles and benefits of implementing QI strategies.
