AB CLINICAL  SCENARIOYou,  the  medical  director  of  an  intensive  care  unit  (ICU),  discover  that  mortality  has  increased  for  patients  with  sepsis.  You  are  considering  a  quality  improvement  (QI)  initiative  to  improve  the  care  and  outcomes  of  your  patients.  However,  you  are  concerned  that  many  QI  studies  have  weak  designs,  poor  data  quality,  and  often  overestimate  potential  benefits.  Before  beginning,  you  decide  to  identify  and  evaluate  existing  QI  interventions.
