Method: Centers completed a 20-question self-assessment survey to measure QI culture over time in four evidence-based areas: QI Team Structure (team roles); QI Foundation (data collection and training); QI Capacity (use of QI tools); and QI Success (scaling up small tests). Data was collected in 2021 and 2022 for the same centers. The overall difference in QI Capacity was calculated using a Chi-Square test.
Results: Overall, QI Culture increased from 67% to 75% from 2021 to 2022 (p-value = 0.005). Figure 1 demonstrates that improvements were seen in three of the four evidence-based areas for both pediatric and adult centers in this time.
