Improvement Projects

The DCPQC use 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.

These QI models allow for tracking progress and identifying barriers to determine how best to implement care, keeping in mind a continuous improvement cycle.

  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.
  2. Multidisciplinary teams are then formed to implement the quality improvement process.
  3. As part of this process, 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. Based on these priorities, process modifications, training, and sharing of best practices are part of a collaborative learning process.
  4. Continuous monitoring of data allows the team to monitor successes and identify areas for further improvement.

A few projects the DCPQC may begin with can be found below. Decisions regarding which projects to initiate first are based on data review.
