Exercise 2 (pg. 6) - Complete the table describing the similarities and differences between Quality Improvement and Patient Safety.
Exercise 3 (pg. 6 & 7) - Use Exercise 1 reflections to match your ideas to institutional goals and begin to think about various teammates (stakeholders) you will need to accomplish your goals.

During our first QIP Session, we will be:
Reviewing and discussing the material and the readings.
Each of you will be presenting your' “elevator pitch” (see course material) and giving each other feedback.
By the end of the first session, my hope will be that each of you has a project in mind and a plan for recruiting a team to bring that project to fruition.
