Continuous Quality Improvement and Plan-Do-Study-Act Model

Continuous quality improvement (CQI) is used in healthcare settings to address system issues, as well as improve already functional performances by reviewing differing techniques (Stanhope and Lancaster, 2020). By continuously reviewing performances and how they are done, healthcare professionals can see if and where any improvements can be made. CQI is an examining tool that encourages proactivity rather than reactivity. The Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) model can be used during CQI.
