Description
An overview of quality and quality improvement programmes, measures, and data in healthcare organisations is included in the course content. The course includes links to external sites that will help you connect to the larger "real world" of healthcare organisation quality and quality improvement. The links can also be used as resources after you have completed the course experience. And, because everyone enjoys a good road trip or field trip, there are "virtual field trips" to often-hidden places of interest on the internet.
