Who is Eligible? What Projects are ideal for this service?
We welcome interest from any UW Medicine healthcare professional who seeks support with a QI project. The service is an ideal add-on to the Certificate Program in Patient Safety and Quality, but enrollment in that course is not necessary to enroll in the QI Project Accelerator.
The QI Project Accelerator service will advance your idea, no matter the phase of your project. However, there are some project characteristics that make them especially suited to getting the most out of this service. Read more about these characteristics.
