The annual evaluation of a quality improvement process should be based on organizational objectives. This is because the quality improvement process is designed to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of an organization's operations and align them with the organization's strategic goals12. The AAAHC (Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care) requires that documentation demonstrates at least an annual governing body review of the Quality Improvement (QI) program to evaluate effectiveness and determine if the purposes and objectives continue to be met3. Therefore, the annual evaluation of a quality improvement process must be based on organizational objectives to ensure that the process is effectively contributing to the achievement of these objectives.
