Abstract

Abstract: This article describes a brief learning activity that provided reflective time to identify barriers, facilitators, and action steps to ensure quality improvement (QI) project success. Learners from our program participated in an interactive 90-minute session that used Liberating Structures to reflect on current barriers to implementation of their QI projects. Analysis of the individual reflective cards identified 10 barriers to QI success. Facilitators were grouped into 16 themes. Action steps were placed into six categories. Integration of reflection promotes important identification of QI project barriers, facilitators, and the creation of action steps.
