Quality Improvement Webinar – Root-cause Analysis: Digging Deep to Improve

Wednesday, November 29

1:00-2:00 pm ET

Without an understanding of what is really driving poor quality or performance, it is difficult to improve. Root-cause analysis is a critical tool in the quality improvement tool box that allows professionals to understand what’s at the heart of the problem and then develop improvement ideas that can make a difference. How can you improve if you do not understand the challenge and the contributing factors?

In this one-hour webinar, you will learn three common forms of root-cause analysis, discuss the advantages of applying these methods to different circumstances and environments, and how root-cause analysis is used as the basis for creating and implementing ideas that lead to robust improvement.
