Abstract: Quality improvement (QI) in medicine is reliant on a team-based approach and an understanding of core QI principles. Part 2 of this continuing medical education series outlines the steps of performing a QI project, from identifying QI opportunities, to carrying out successive Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles, to hard-wiring improvements into the system. QI frameworks will be explored and readers will understand how to interpret basic QI data.<br />Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest None disclosed.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 American Academy of Dermatology, Inc.
