from The BASICS Series:
The Baldrige Award
Performance Improvement Process
Coming Soon with new 2010 Baldrige Criteria!
Title:  The Baldrige Award Performance Improvement Process

Overall Purpose:
This activity presents the Baldrige Award Process as a
performance improvement  approach.

Nurses who learn these processes are able to easily
incorporate performance improvement into their patient care,
and thus contribute to healthcare quality improvement.  This
knowledge can also be utilized during the nurse’s career
development while pursuing certification in healthcare quality
(CPHQ).

Objectives:
After studying the materials, the learner will be able to
  • Identify key criteria of the Baldrige Award.
  • Evaluate potential approaches to self-assessment for the
    Baldrige Award at their home facility.

This course takes approximately 3 hour and 5 minutes to
complete and offers 3.08 contact hours for successful
completion.

This course is available in a live onsite format, a webinar, and
a downloaded, self-directed computer based module.

Improvement Process, this module will be available to view
