Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 10   EBP 1388 short lesson, about 20 seconds

QI Results Do Not Generalise

Captions available

The idea

Quality improvement results generally do not extend past the organization whose data produced them, because the project was built to change one setting rather than to support a general claim.

In practice

A successful improvement reported for the unit it ran on, and no further.

Where people slip

This limit distinguishes QI from research, and it binds the claim, not the value.
