This assignment supports the following objective.

• We have to identify improvement opportunities based on performance measurement.

We have to create a performance/quality improvement plan for any aspect of your personal or professional life. The plan should focus on improving the quality of a task, trait, or service. The following examples are broadly generalized but are designed to give us a starting point conceptually for this assignment.

Personal - We have to prepare a vegetable side dish with every dinner meal for a month. This would require us to analyze barriers that have prevented you from doing this previously and identify how we will modify your behaviors and activities to realize the goal against a specific timeline.

Professional - Improve reporting of quarterly case numbers for a surgical unit. This would require us to analyze barriers that have prevented accurate/timely reporting, identify actions and people necessary to modify the process, and activities necessary to realize the goal against the quarterly reporting timeline.

  • Responsibility - persons responsible for planned activities
  • Measurement - how progress will be measured.
  • Target date(s) for completion - set dates for planned activities to be completed, and for overall evaluation of problem statement resolution.
