Quality improvement (QI) is a persistent effort to analysis performance and systematic efforts to produce better patient outcomes (Health Resources and Services Administration [HRSA], n.d.).

QI is a tool that identifies the need for those changes and ways to eradicate patient harm by reducing technology and human errors (HRSA, n.d.). This author, identified the ineffectiveness on educating the existing strategies for diagnosing and managing asthma at home as a practice issue.
