If possible, provide a concise review of what is and is not known about the problem being addressed, and how your project fills a gap. The final sentence should describe the purpose of the initiative and include a clear aim statement that specifically lists the desired improvement target.

Methods: Should describe 1) what QI measures (outcome/process/balancing) were used to evaluate the QI intervention; 2) what change(s) were implemented, and ideally an explicit rationale for why the proposed changes would be expected to solve the local QI problem, i.e, what did you learn from your driver diagram; 3) detailed description of the iterative PDSA cycles of change used to implement the change(s); 4) analytic approach used to evaluate the impact of the intervention.

Results: Provide a summary of the results.

Conclusion: State concisely what can be concluded. This must be supported by data presented in the abstract. Describe the implications of the project findings. Include major limitations and future directions i.e. next steps +/- implementation.
