HEALTH CARE OPERATIONS AND QUALITY

Assignment Overview

According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (2002), “a central goal of healthcare quality improvement is to maintain what is good about the existing healthcare system while focusing on the areas that need improvement” (para. 2). This assignment will familiarize you with the quality improvement (QI) approaches and models that health care administrators can effectively apply.

To create your presentation, please locate the following book in the Trident Library:
