The QI Plan is a guidance document that informs everyone in the organization as to the direction, timeline, activities, and importance of quality and QI in the organization. The QI Plan is a living document and needs to be revised on a regular basis to reflect accomplishments, lessons learned, and changing organizational priorities. It is not a one-time static document but one that should constantly describe the current state and future state of quality in any public health department. (Public Health Foundation)
