Clinical Practice Improvement (CPI) Programme



What This Programme is About

Participants engaging in an activity

The Clinical Practice Improvement Programme (CPIP), launched in 2002, is designed to help develop clinical leadership in the delivery of evidence-based care. It provides a platform for multi-disciplinary healthcare teams to learn ways to lead improvement where gaps are evident in the process of delivery.

What You will Learn

The programme provides scientific training in the following areas: understanding patients’ needs and diagnosing practice gaps; measuring and understanding variance in practice; building knowledge of interventions using plan-do-study-act (PDSA) cycles; collaborating with multi-disciplinary care providers; and designing strategies to sustain change.

Following the workshop, you will undertake a six-month improvement project with guidance by the CPIP facilitators. This experiential learning model helps you to transit from “knowing” to “doing” as you apply the quality improvement principles and tools in your project to improve patient care.
