The QIP form: the one-page quality assurance tool.
Recognition of the need to document and track corrective action plans led to the development in 1980 of the quality improvement plan (QIP). The QIP form includes ten categories such as quality assurance (QA) assessment and initiator's recommendation; it helps provide information for the hospital QA committee and the QA program. The QIP form has helped identify 50 current QA concerns at the Methodist Hospital of Indiana, Inc., in Indianapolis indicating its successful implementation.
