2017 Quality Improvement Activity Sustainability Plan

Sustainability is about ensuring that the improvements you have made will last. In order for these enhancements to be lasting, we must establish a plan for sustainability. We all want these changes and improvements to become part of the culture in your facility.
To successfully complete this sustainability plan, please take a moment to consider all of the processes you have put into place during the Quality Improvement Activity your facility participated in.
- What can be done to ensure the most successful interventions will become part of the culture in your facility?
- How will you ensure that these steps will continuously support your current processes?
- Will this require that you modify training in your facility?
- How will you track these interventions to ensure improvements in performance measures are sustained?
- If you have a corporate partner, what is their role in supporting this sustainability plan?
