Tools for Managing the Quality Improvement Project
The Psychiatric Services and Clinical Knowledge Enhancement System (PSYCKES) team has developed an array of tools for hospital teams to use in managing their Quality Improvement (QI) projects.
Action Plan
A written Action Plan is an important tool for planning and managing the QI project. It should be revised periodically, based on project data.
Managing Project Data
Data-driven decision-making is a key element of successful quality improvement. Therefore, it is essential that QI teams develop effective processes for tracking data regarding project activities and outcomes. The tools below are designed to capture the data needed for monthly reporting. They are entirely optional and may be edited/adapted as needed. Hospital teams should consider whether it would be helpful to capture additional data elements.
Tracking spreadsheets (summary monthly data)
- Emergency Department Tracking Spreadsheet
- Inpatient Tracking Spreadsheet
- Outpatient Tracking Spreadsheet
- Health Home / Care Coordination Tracking Spreadsheet
Patient Intervention Tracking Tools (checklist of interventions delivered to a single client)
- Emergency Department Patient Interventions Tracking Tool
- Inpatient Patient Interventions Tracking Tool
- Outpatient Patient Interventions Tracking Tool
- Health Home / Care Coordination Patient Interventions Tracking Tool
QI teams can learn more about managing PSYCKES data by attending an upcoming Webinar.
