Quality Improvement Plan

Standard/ element	Issue identified during self-assessment	What outcome or goal do we seek?	Priority (L/M/H)	How will we get this outcome? (Steps)	Success measure	By when?	Progress notes
List quality areas, elements and standards here	Document the areas which require improvement, including: gaps in performance and standards competency levels and staff development inadequacies in policies and procedures non-compliance.	Refer to the relevant standard the improvement relates to. What does your end goal look like support your clients/children/families/employees		Clearly describe specific actions and activities to be taken. A minimum of four (4) immediate goals and four (4) long-term goals. Include the roles of staff members and their individual responsibilities for improvement activities. Document how the QIP will be communicated to relevant staff in the organisation and to other relevant stakeholders.		Set realistic timeframes and prioritise the activities into immediate and long-term goals.	To reflect good practice, client needs and changes, you are required to update a minimum of two (2) service delivery procedures, clearly documenting the changes made which reflect the Quality Improvement Plan.
