This Foundational course will provide participants with an introduction to quality improvement methods and tools, including the Model for Improvement, Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA), Fishbone Diagrams, and Process Mapping. Participants will have the opportunity to apply the methods and tools learned by participating in a large group exercise and a case study that integrates mental and physical health. The goal is that participants will be able to apply the methods and tools in their own collaborative practice settings, by identifying opportunities for improvement in integrated mental and physical health and implementing small tests of change.
