Stress awareness month
Day 19
Learn to believe in yourself, our confidence in our ability to cope with life challenges, stressors at home and in work has an impact on how we respond to stress. We are more capable than we often give ourselves credit for. It matters the story we tell ourselves about what is happening…Read more

Do you know the difference between the two types of Quality Improvement (QI) and the difference between Quality Improvement (QI) and Continuous Improvement (CI)? Please reply with a yes or no to each question.
-
Yes
-
Thanks. I’ll just wait a bit to see if any of the other 217 members if the SIG reply then I’ll respond.
-
-
To us, QI and CI are interchangeable so interesting to understand the difference. Not sure I was aware there were only two types of QI – although there are many different methods.
-
I have found that it is common to see these terms used interchangeably in the NHS. I have also found it helpful to differentiate them, as it is often assumed that if you are using QI then you are doing CI, but that isn’t usually the case. CI requires a systematic approach to using QI methods as part of normal operational management, alongside…Read more
-
I’ll let the questions run a bit longer and then I’ll explain the differences. QI and CI are most certainly very different.
-
-
the difference between the two types of Quality Improvement (QI)? – NO – is there more than one?
the difference between Quality Improvement (QI) and Continuous Improvement (CI)? – in a way, QI is done just before every audit visit. CI is never finished.
-
Thanks for your relies so far. Only another 214 members to reply!
-
Great question – but not sure this is a yes/no question. In health there are so many projects on the go, with little control around methods and tools, with many clinicians taking on change projects without the support/expertise of project managers. Many tools may be useful in project planning and control, and common to QI, CI and service…Read more
-
I think it’s a No but great answer with loads of points to address later. Thanks.

Do you know the difference between Quality Assurance, Quality Planning, Quality Control and Quality Improvement?
-
Yes to all of those.
-
Is that as defined by Juran or is it the NHS versions?
-
-
NHS (Pathology), but probably not far off Juran – Quality Control is the check that our systems work as expected (Internal Quality Control e.g. statistical control charts) and will produce the correct results. Quality Assurance is the evaluation of our results to check that they met our expectations (we use the term External Quality Assurance or…Read more
-
Thanks Lesley. Yes – not far off Juran. I’ll post outlining the differences when the remaining 217 SIG members have had a chance to respond to my post above. I’ve added a link so that members can see the standards/regulations that Pathology have to meet, not a easy task!…Read more
