1 Identify your QI objectives and indicators

The first step to compare your QI practices is to define your QI objectives and indicators. What are the specific outcomes and outputs that you want to achieve and measure? How do they align with your organizational vision, mission, and values? How do they relate to the expectations and needs of your customers and stakeholders? You should have clear and SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) QI objectives and indicators that can guide your QI efforts and enable you to track your progress and results.

There will be overwhelming jobs for any QI objective and it will involve multiple function teams as well. It's always an art of teamwork with scientific tools along the way to achieve the objective.

3 Collect and analyze your QI data

The third step is to collect and analyze your QI data. You should have a reliable and valid data collection system that can capture and store your QI data. You should also have a robust and rigorous data analysis process that can transform your QI data into meaningful and actionable information. You should use appropriate statistical techniques, such as descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and control charts, to summarize, compare, and interpret your QI data. You should also use graphical tools, such as histograms, scatter plots, and fishbone diagrams, to visualize and communicate your QI data.

4 Benchmark your QI performance

The fourth step is to benchmark your QI performance. Benchmarking is the process of comparing your QI performance to the best practices or standards of other organizations or sectors. Benchmarking can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses, learn from others, and set realistic and challenging goals. You can use different sources of benchmarking data, such as industry reports, surveys, databases, and case studies. You can also use different types of benchmarking, such as internal benchmarking, external benchmarking, competitive benchmarking, and functional benchmarking.

When benchmarking, it is important to ensure you are comparing apples to apples and you're using industry standards. If a certain benchmark isn't available in your industry, then why that benchmark was chosen as well as any antipated barriers to use should be clearly noted.

5 Evaluate your QI outcomes and impacts

The final step is to evaluate your QI outcomes and impacts. Evaluation is the process of assessing the value and significance of your QI outcomes and impacts on your organization, customers, and stakeholders. Evaluation can help you demonstrate your QI achievements, justify your QI investments, and identify your QI opportunities. You can use different methods and tools of evaluation, such as logic models, outcome mapping, cost-benefit analysis, and customer satisfaction surveys. You can also use different criteria and standards of evaluation, such as relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, and equity.
