Set-Up and methods

This checklist also works like the other checklists in this toolkit: the more yellow (‘partly’) and red (‘no’) answers you give in each row, the higher the need to discuss this aspect in more detail and decide on actions for improvement. If the problems are obvious, you can write solutions in the ‘Action’ column straight away. If not, you can go back to the toolkit and find the detailed checklist for the topic listed in the first column. This may help you to identify concrete improvements.

Quality improvement plan part 2 lists the actions you wrote in the ‘Action’ column while working through the checklist. They can be concrete, practical improvements or further reviews (returning to the relevant section of the toolkit and working through the detailed checklist there).
