Quality improvement methods in child health — branching viva

Opening (candidate)

My first job is to reframe this from a poster-and-reaudit into a genuine quality improvement project. I would use the Model for Improvement: define a specific, measurable, time-bound aim; choose a balanced set of outcome, process and balancing measures; establish a reliable baseline run chart; then test change ideas with small PDSA cycles before scaling anything. I would secure a senior sponsor and protected time, build a multidisciplinary team including nursing, pharmacy and a family partner, and disaggregate the data by subgroup so an equity gap does not hide behind an improving average. ^{[1] [8]}
