Document and share your project
Documenting and sharing the outcomes of your QI project is important, not only for personal and team recognition but also for contributing to the broader field of healthcare improvement.
Importance of documenting
Documenting your project helps to track the process and impact of the project, provide a blueprint for future projects, and ensure accountability and transparency. This page guides you on what to document and the various ways you can share your project.
Project reporting template
Use this template to keep your project reports consistent and ensure you capture all the key details of your QI project. It simplifies the process and helps maintain uniformity across all projects.
Required project reporting for HNEkids staff
All HNEkids staff must submit your project details and final report through the HNEkids QI Project Portal. This means that the organisation is informed about the QI activities being undertaken and does not constitute as an official publication. Click below to access the portal (you may need to enable pop-ups for this link).
Confidentiality assurance
The project title and team leader contact details may be shared within HNEkids. However access to the full report is restricted to the HNEkids Quality Manager and senior leaders.
Ways to share you project
Your QI project can be shared through various platforms and formats to reach a wide audience:
| Presentations | At team meetings, department updates, or hospital/organisation events. |
|---|---|
| Conferences | Present findings at local, national, or international healthcare conferences. |
| Abstracts | Submit abstracts summarising your project to relevant conferences and journals. |
| Full journal publication | Write detailed articles for peer-reviewed journals in your field. |
| ACI Innovation Exchange | Share your innovations on platforms designed to disseminate QI projects across healthcare professionals. |
| HNELHD Excellence Awards | Submit your work for district-wide recognition. |
Approval process for publishing and presenting
If you want to publish or present your project outside the organisation, you need to get approval from your Line Manager and maybe other senior managers too. Check the Support your team page for steps on how to get this approval. This helps you follow our guidelines and improves the quality of what you share.
