All fifteen public health regions were represented at the Quality Improvement Training held in Wichita on March 5-7th at Old Town Conference Center. Stacy Baker from the Public Health Foundation led the training. The training covered the Plan-Do-Check-Act approach to quality management, how to identify the "root causes" of problems, and introduction to a number of quality improvement tools such as Affinity Diagrams, Fishbone Diagrams, Nominal Group Technique, Prioritization Matrices, Control/Influence/Concern Charts, and Process Mapping.
The Quality Improvement Training is a part of the Multi-State Learning Collaborative Project (MLC-2). For additional information on this project, see the MLC-2 Project Page.
