Description

Participants will understand and apply the principles of improvement science, an applied science method used in healthcare and education to solve problems or improve results of a system. The phases of the improvement science process will be explored, along with the roles of specific tools used in each phase to guide the process—such as fishbone diagrams, systems maps, run charts, and driver diagrams. By focusing on the applied use of these principles and tools, the transfer and use of new knowledge and skills can be deepened to facilitate better improvement outcomes for the social determinants of health, such as decreasing stress in the workplace, increasing graduation rates, or decreasing wait time in an emergency department.
