Your plan is taking shape. You have begun to use data, evidence, and strategies to promote quality and safety. Consider harnessing these skills for quality improvement planning.

Consider this quote:

"Things get done only if the data we gather can inform and inspire those in a position to make difference" (Schmoker, 1996).

Thoughtfully consider the following questions:

• What types of data do you or could you use in your organization?
• How will you or do you use data to make a difference in your organization?
• Of the resources you are considering for your project plan, what is the biggest challenge you foresee? Why?
