In the first week of the course, you were tasked with completing the Introduction Self-Check and posting your definition of CQI based on your knowledge at that time. Over the last 5 weeks, we have learned about legal and regulatory requirements, government mandates, and CQI models and tools, as well as how to analyze the use of data in improvement processes related to ensuring the delivery of quality care. In reflection of the past 5 weeks, compare your initial knowledge of the CQI process (and all that it entails) to your newly acquired knowledge. Discuss your thoughts on CQI. Discuss at least two new concepts that you learned and how you think they can be applied in your professional career after graduation. Include an example of how a CQI process can be used to improve patient care within the scope of your chosen career.
