“…Staff at the state health department then reviewed each plan and provided feedback and suggestions to the local health departments to facilitate further improvement. PDSA cycles have also been used to contain an outbreak of hepatitis B in a nephrology clinic (37) and to increase participation and interest in a mandatory education program (24). Another example from the emergency medical services field similarly showed how cyclical PDSA cycles with feedback improved performance in charting and reduced prolonged on-scene time (43).…”

Quality improvement (QI) methods have been used in many industries to improve performance and outcomes. This chapter reviews key QI concepts and their application to public health emergency preparedness (PHEP). We conclude that for QI to flourish and become standard practice, changes to the status quo are necessary. In particular, public health should build its capabilities in QI, enhance implementation, and align incentives to facilitate use of QI.

As part of Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations survey preparation, two prospective, interventional studies were conducted. The first study compared the hospital staff that participated in survey‐readiness rounds to staff that did not. The second study compared the scores before and after the educational in‐service of the group that had not participated in these rounds. The mean total score of the rounds group was 92 per cent and for the no‐rounds study group before in‐service education was 85 per cent. The difference was statistically significant. The no‐rounds group’s mean total score rose 14 per cent after in‐service education. In‐service education nearly doubled the likelihood of scoring 90 per cent or better. As part of a coordinated survey‐readiness program, a contest can be a useful and effective method to assess and improve staff knowledge.
