Exploring Quality Improvement Videos

In partnership with Livingston County Health Department, the Office of Public Health Improvement (OPHI) and MDHHS used technical assistance hours to develop a series of videos to help build capacity in maintaining a culture of quality improvement. The videos describe the foundations to quality improvement and how to integrate into all departmental activities. Livingston County Health Department would like to share this resource with other health departments experiencing the same thing. Use the following links to access the videos:
