The UWMC has developed a multidisciplinary collaborative model for improving our services. Our activities are data-driven and systematic in design. Improvement of services are meticulously planned and tested.
Assessments are subject to stringent data statistical analysis.
Once the assessments have passed muster, they are communicated to the hospital community and implemented. Implementations are checked periodically to see if they are actually proceeding as planned in a cost-effective manner. CQI research is protected from legal discovery Continuous Quality Improvement activities frequently involve peer review. In order to facilitate such internal review at hospitals, research projects conducted to improve the quality of services provided by the hospitals in Washington State are generally protected from legal discovery. CQI research is generally hospital specific Because CQI research is protected from legal discovery, the raw data cannot be shared easily.
