Description

Quality improvement (QI) is a simple yet powerful approach that leads to better processes, patient care, and health outcomes. And it’s already changing the way providers practice in many organizations, including community health centers. How can any practice — public or private — use QI to reduce inefficiencies, streamline workflows, and boost satisfaction for both patients and staff?

Join CareQuest Institute and the Dental Quality Alliance (DQA) for a webinar that will explore the value of integrating QI principles into dental clinics. Our expert panel will share practical insights and real-world case examples, showing how to leverage data and analytics to meet the evolving demands of both patients and staff. They’ll also discuss how to foster collaboration across disciplines and set up programs that lead to more equitable, person-centered care for underserved populations.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the principles of quality improvement (QI) in dentistry and how they connect to delivering patient-centered care.
  • Identify the elements needed to foster a culture of QI in dentistry.
  • Discuss real-world examples that apply QI strategies in various dental care settings.
