• Evaluate Your Impact: Learn how to track progress, assess the effectiveness of your changes, and make data-driven decisions to modify or sustain improvements .

• Apply the Framework: Follow clear, real-world healthcare case studies (including CLABSI reduction and improving equipment availability) demonstrating the Diagnose, Treat, Evaluate cycle in action.

Written by experienced healthcare leaders Angela Bennett and Dr. Emily Calabro, this guide is the first in the "Agents of Change: A DIY Series to Transform Healthcare".
