Performance Improvement
Goal One of our 2022-2026 Strategic Plan: We provide consistently excellent care for clients when & how they want it.
What is Performance Improvement (PI)?
- The continuous process of:
- assessing the quality and equity of the care we deliver
- assessing client access to that care
- adjusting to do better
- A systems approach, not a personnel approach
- Nothing changes unless our ways of working and ways of thinking change
- Failures are rarely a "person" issue and more often a "system" issue
- PI is baked into everything we do
- Data-driven
- We use data as a driver for improvement and a way to tell us how we're doing
- Data helps us see what's really happening, not what we think is happening - because our common sense isn't always correct
- Data allows us to target our work towards things that make real, lasting change
