TL;DR

An approach that respects these partners as customers and refines the relationships with serial tests of change (e.g., PDSA) has contributed significantly to this program's success.

Abstract

The Schools of Medicine and Nursing at Case Western Reserve University and the Program in Health Administration at Cleveland State University have created an interdisciplinary course in continuous improvement that emphasizes learning through experience, accommodates a large number of students, and has created new partnerships with Cleveland area health care organizations. An approach that respects these partners as customers and refines the relationships with serial tests of change (e.g., PDSA) has contributed significantly to this program's success.
