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.
