This course introduces concepts needed to implement and evaluate QI projects in a dental practice setting. Students will learn how to use the Model of Improvement developed by the Dental Quality Alliance and the basic steps for an improvement project: set an aim, select measures, develop ideas for changes, and test changes using Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles. Students will complete either a clinical or operational quality improvement project in a field site location.
