National benchmarks and best-practice standards are used to determine variances in practice outcomes. Emphasis is placed on rigorous analytic methods to critically evaluate quality improvement outcomes and impact. Approaches to solving actual problems in clinical settings are considered, with emphasis on patients with chronic illnesses and other vulnerable populations.
