    In the Primary Care SIG we have been having some discussion on the value of the model for improvement and the QI methodology for general practice. The issue seems to be a lack of knowledge and training to undertake QI projects amongst much smaller staff numbers. I have been working with some GPs on a different focus for QI. This may be of interest to community hospitals as they may have the same problems. Is this the case?

    • Hi, I think the issues are slightly different for Community Hospitals. Most organisations have QI education and/or teams and talk more about time to learn and participate as a barrier. It will be interesting to see what our project uncovers and any parallels with your work.

    • Hi Thomas, I have set up QI work with Community Hospitals but the key issue is release of staff to engage. As Evelyn says it will be interesting to see what we learn from the project and what QI tools the staff are using.
