Abstract

The article reports on a study that used the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's Model for Improvement as framework to guide the planning, implementation, and evaluation phases of an evidence-based practice quality improvement project. The six steps of the model were mentioned. The seven-day follow-up appointment based practices questionnaire is shown. The outcomes of appointments scheduled, kept appointments, and readmissions before and after change implementation were compared.
