Additional QI Tools

Summary

In the sixth clinic of the Cardi-OH ECHO QI Cardiovascular Series, co-lead Aleece Caron, PhD, explains different QI tools such as key driver diagrams, fishbone diagrams, and Pareto charts. She then demonstrates how to apply these tools to map strategies for achievable measurable improvement and integrate them into ongoing clinical workflows to drive sustained, team-based change. Teams then discuss a clinical pearl on prescribing medications for an older patient with many cardiovascular risks and a case study that implements the tools like SMART aims and key driver diagrams.
