Intervention and Improvement Plan
5125.2.7 – Intervention and Improvement Plan
(Rev. 28, Issued: 10-21-16, Effective: 10-21-16, Implementation: 10-21-16)
Once the Root Cause Analysis has been completed, the Quality Innovation Network-QIO
develops the Intervention and Improvement Plan in consultation with the practitioner(s) and/or
provider(s). The QIO identifies the intended outcome of intervention(s) and whether or not the
identified outcome(s) is mutually established with the practitioner(s) and/or provider(s) as part
of the Plan. An adequate Intervention and Improvement Plan lists the specific action(s) the
practitioner(s) and/or provider(s) will take to correct the underlying cause of the concern(s) and
identify a timeframe for initiating and completing the Intervention and Improvement Plan.
During the implementation period, the Intervention and Improvement Plan should include
periodic review of the specific intervention(s) against baseline data so that improvements can be
monitored and any appropriate adjustments to the initiative considered.
