Goal: To enhance your QI reporting skills by becoming familiar with relevant reporting guidelines & best practices.
Writing up your QI project findings can be made into an easier process by choosing to consult a reporting guideline, which is "a simple, structured tool for health researchers to use while writing manuscripts". It is also defined as: “A checklist, flow diagram, or structured text to guide authors in reporting a specific type of research, developed using explicit methodology.” Searchable resources like the EQUATOR Network can help you identify the reporting guideline (or the guideline extension) that best matches with your project's study type/design.
