The quality improvement process: one approach to education.

Quality improvement (QI) is a practice now expected of the healthcare industry. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations has incorporated continuous QI into its standards; furthermore, the implementation of QI is a major challenge facing healthcare institutions today.

The importance of the educational process cannot be overemphasized.
