Welcome to Healthcare Update: Quality Tools and Applications. Each monthly edition features a specific tool and includes a template, how-to method or case study, with tips for use or accounts of how the tool could be used. This edition allows members of the ASQ community to share ideas and best practices for making the most of quality tools. Control PlanA control plan is a written summary that describes what is needed to ensure that performance improvements are sustained over time. It typically covers HR and training requirements, actions that should be taken if measures are outside the specified range and reactions needed to ensure process owners sustain the gains of process improvements. See an example of a control plan created at SMDC Health System’s Duluth Clinic-Ashland Laboratory as part of a successful project to improve the handling of add-on laboratory test orders. Learn more. (This case study presentation comes from the ASQ Healthcare Division.) Additional Resources
