Improvement Projects – district of columbia perinatal quality collaborative

The DCPQC uses multiple data-driven quality improvement (QI) models such as Plan-Do-Study-Act methodology, Six Sigma and Lean to address city-wide needs and priorities.

Step 1
The DCPQC’s first step is to engage champions to advocate and support improvement projects that address maternal and infant health across the District
Step 2
Multidisciplinary teams are formed to implement the quality improvement process.
Step 3
Data is collected, analyzed and shared over time with the DCPQC group and other stakeholders. This allows the team to understand the root causes and barriers to prioritize improvement processes.
Step 4
Continuous monitoring of data allows the team to evaluate successes and identify areas for further improvement.
