How to Identify Goals in the Self-Reflection and QIP

The easiest way to identify a goal is to be as clear as possible when naming your goal in the Quality Improvement Plan (QIP). When a Validator reviews the Self-Reflection, QIP, and evidence, they look at each simplified goal in the QIP to determine if the goal is assigned to a staff person, when the due date is, and if the goal aligns with an indicator. Validators will not open each goal to read the notes or attached documentation, so all identifying information should be available on the main QIP page. 

You can also consider the following:

• Clearly name goals so that Validators can identify which indicator the goal is related to. 
• Select the related indicator in the goal, under the heading "Supports GSQ Quality Indicator."
