A nurse works at a hospital that uses equity-focused quality improvement. Which strategy is the hospital using?

A) Document staff satisfaction.
B) Focus on the family.
C) Implement change on a grand scale.
D) Reduce disparities.

Organizations can implement equity-focused quality improvement by recognizing disparities and committing to reducing them. Staff diversity is a priority for equity-focused quality improvement, not staff satisfaction. While the family is important, the focus is on the patients. Organizations should start by implementing a change on a small scale (pilot testing), learning from each test, and refining the intervention through performance improvement cycles (e.g., plan, do, study, and act).
