Who is the Quality Improvement Plan template for?
This Quality Improvement Plan template is designed for teams of any size and industry. It provides a framework to help teams create a comprehensive plan that outlines goals and objectives, develops KPIs, and outlines actions to help reach quality improvement goals.
1. Define clear examples of your focus areas
The first step of creating a Quality Improvement Plan is to define focus areas. Focus areas are categories of goals that the team wants to accomplish. Examples of focus areas may include customer satisfaction, product quality, or employee productivity.
2. Think about the objectives that could fall under that focus area
After a focus area has been identified, objectives should be identified. Objectives are specific goals that should be accomplished to reach the overall focus area goal. For example, if the focus area is “customer satisfaction”, objectives may include “Increase customer satisfaction ratings” or “Reduce customer complaints”.
3. Set measurable targets (KPIs) to tackle the objective
Once objectives have been identified, measurable targets (KPIs) should be set to help reach the objectives. KPIs are performance metrics that can be used to measure progress towards an objective. For example, if the objective is to “Reduce customer complaints”, the KPI could be “Reduce customer complaints by 25%”.
4. Implement related projects to achieve the KPIs
The next step is to implement related projects to achieve the KPIs. Projects are actionable initiatives that should be taken to reach the related KPI. For example, if the KPI is to “Reduce customer complaints by 25%”, the related project could be to “Implement customer complaint tracking system”.
