This comprehensive education module on Quality Improvement (QI) in Interventional Radiology is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully initiate, execute, and evaluate QI projects. It begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of QI and progresses through key stages, including setting SMART goals, developing tools for data collection and analysis, and constructing a QI project. The module emphasizes the use of the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle for iterative improvement and teaches how to evaluate the scalability of projects across healthcare settings. Participants will also develop leadership skills for driving change and engage staff effectively in continuous improvement efforts, all while aligning project timelines with organizational goals and milestones.
