Quality Improvement Project (QIP) – Overview and Access

A Quality Improvement Project (QIP) is a formal, documented set of commitments that a health care organization makes to its patients/clients/residents, staff and community to improve quality through focused targets and actions. QIPs are used in many sectors to assist organizations in delivering quality programs and services.

Access to the QIP module is security driven. You must have access to the Analytics tab in PointClickCare and access to the QIP module. Selecting the QIP tile or from the menu bar to proceed to the QIP dashboard.

  • Local interdisciplinary teams empowered and trained to set goals for improvement.

  • Teams identifying causes of problems, barriers to quality, or flaws in system design that lead to poor quality.

  • Teams trying different ideas for improving how care is delivered in multiple brief, small experiments of change.

  • Teams conducting frequent, targeted measurement of quality in a way that gives them instant feedback on whether the changes they are testing are heading in the right direction.

  • Within the QIP module, you can create a QIP or an IA.

    • QIP = Quality Improvement Project: formal process, more detailed.

    • IA = Improvement Activity: less formal, less detailed.
