Clinical Scenario #6: Practice-Based Learning and Improvement

Abstract

In this chapter the essential aspects of practice-based learning improvement are discussed. The chapter begins with a mock scenario involving an initiative to design and implement a quality improvement project to improve the number of cases starting on time. The mock scenario is followed by a task statement that describes the specific action that the student must take. In this case, the task is to explain to a colleague the general steps of how to design and implement a quality improvement project. An action plan is then presented in a stepwise manner with mock responses and a discussion of the responses. Grading points are also discussed and how to achieve maximum score is presented.
