Even a perfectly planned quality improvement (QI) initiative will stall if the organization's key decision makers do not understand or support it. Moving from a good idea to an approved project requires more than clinical evidence; it demands a compelling business case that clearly demonstrates value to leadership.

In this course, you will explore how to connect with stakeholders and decision makers and clearly explain the goals and value of your QI project. You'll identify key performance indicators to demonstrate both the financial and human value of your planned changes. Finally, you'll develop the skills to craft compelling slide decks and elevator pitches, and you'll prepare to respond confidently to tough questions and organizational constraints.

You are required to have completed the following courses or have equivalent experience before taking this course:
