Leading Improvement Projects Online Courses

In this online training, we’ll review from start to finish what to expect over the course of a quality improvement (QI) project. This training was developed for people that will be helping to facilitate QI projects within their agency and are looking for helpful tools, templates and experience.  Registering for this training gives you access to an online micro-course, which includes the online modules + Live Learning Sessions with a subject-matter expert. The micro-course was developed in partnership with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s Office of Partnership, Planning and Improvement and the Colorado Association for Local Public Health Officials (CALPHO) for public health agencies in Colorado; however, those working in other states and in other settings may find it useful as well.
