Selecting Quality Improvement Team Members
Overview
The success of any quality improvement (QI) endeavor depends on the team working on it. It is not the number of people, but rather how well they function and work together, that makes a team successful. QI team members must respect each other, and share common goals, a vision, agendas, and timelines to be successful. QI teams work best when each team member has a good disposition toward making the improvement. A person’s disposition is defined as inherent qualities of mind and character, or as an attitude and mood which is demonstrated often through their behaviors, or a tendency to act in a specified way. However defined, some dispositions are better suited to effectively pursuing QI in teams.
