Learning Session 6: Responsible Conduct of QI and QI Research

12/16/19


PRESENTER: Jonathan Finkelstein, MD, MPH, Boston Children's Hospital


LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Participants will be able to:

  1. Describe two or more ways in which typical QI projects differ from human subjects research;
  2. Assess whether your own project should require IRB review from an ethical perspective, and whether it does require IRB review in your own institution; and
  3. In two minutes or less, make a logical argument for why local IRBs should create an alternate and simplified pathway for review and approval of QI projects.
