Objective Quality Improvement Project

What is practice-driven quality improvement?

Choose what you want to change within your practice! Use objective data and quality improvement methodology to identify areas for improvement, and implement strategies to enhance your practice.

Remember the WestView QI Team is here to help you with any of these steps as needed! 

Step 1: Understand Your Practice = Look at Your Data

There are many different options for where you can retrieve your data to complete your QI project including:

• EMR data (eg ASAP reports)
• Patient Access Data (eg., Third Next Available)
• HQCA Panel Reports 
• MD Snapshot – available on the CPSA website

This is often the step that physicians get stuck on. Please look at the examples of PPIP projects on the right-hand side to see if any would be interesting to you.

Step 2: Assess Your Practice = Pick What You Want to Improve

Decide on an area of QI that would benefit your patients.

Step 3: Create Your Learning Plan = Fill Out the Action Plan Sheet

Action Plan Template BLANK

Step 4: Implement your learning plan = Do your action

• Implement whatever QI strategy you decide on.

Step 5: Evaluate the Outcome = See if it made a difference

Look at your new data to see if the desired outcome was achieved.

Step 6: Submit in PPIP Section of CPSA Renewal Information Form

This just means that on your annual CPSA review you click “Yes” for the PPIP Objective Quality Improvement project. Don’t panic if you have previously clicked “Yes” and didn’t have it done yet.  Just make sure that you do complete this by Dec 31, 2025.
