The project aim is to demonstrate the use of quality improvement initiatives to build leadership capacity amongst individual frontline staff. Staff are challenged to identify a single high priority pain point that disrupts their personal workflow. Staff are then challenged to build, implement, and assess their own quality improvement initiative as a solution to this problem and improvement to their workflow.
