Join us for this interactive session, with Helen Crisp, Editor-in-Chief of BMJ Open Quality. 

Healthcare staff, improvement professionals, patients and their families and caregivers (in all healthcare settings) design and lead efforts to improve the quality of care. A common and impactful way of sharing these quality improvement (QI) efforts is by publication in peer-reviewed literature. Through lecture and group discussion this session will help participants to identify opportunities to publish QI work to disseminate their experience and knowledge with others. To identify common pitfalls in QI project report submissions to peer review journals. And, to describe strategies that can be employed during both the project stage and the writing stage to increase the chances of publication.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Identify peer-reviewed publication in which to publish QI reports


• Describe and implement strategies during the conduct of QI projects that will increase the chances of publication


• Write improvement reports that avoid the most common pitfalls.
