Evidence-Based Quality Improvement
Multilevel research-clinical partnership approach to supporting local strategic planning, priority setting, skill building and engagement in addressing targeted healthcare delivery problems. Launched at participating VA facilities through advance key stakeholder interviews, in-person site visits, data review (e.g., structure and environment of care, gender disparities in quality and patient experience), QI education/training, technical support (e.g., QI project and measures development), additional formative feedback from the evaluation (e.g., provider/survey measure summaries), external and internal practice facilitation, and across-EBQI site collaboration calls. Local leadership, EBQI champions and QI teams develop and implement innovation projects aimed at improving prioritized quality targets related to women Veterans' health and healthcare needs as well as facility-level structural changes needed to improve compliance with VA guidelines.
