Create a poster that showcases your work as you reflect on what you learned while developing the Project Charter in the previous three assessments.
Introduction
You have developed a project charter for your quality improvement project. Now is the time to “showcase” your work. In this assessment, you will submit your poster to disseminate your results in a professional manner. Now is a good time to think about how you will sustain these improvements in terms of organizational commitment and leadership. Heinrich (2021) states: “Instead of getting to the end and asking, ‘Now that we’ve made some great improvements, what can we do to continue them?’ you need to think about that aspect from the very beginning” (para 2). Active involvement of leadership, organizational support and commitment, and an understanding that “team” matters are aligned with quality improvement success.
