I want you to consider that if you know somebody who&#8217;s starting to look at doing some sort of belt training or Director of Nursing Practice where they have to do projects, or if you&#8217;re in Magnet groups where nurses are doing improvement projects, the QI Macros will collapse the cycle time to get that done. And we&#8217;re even happy to help you: you can send in your data and we will help you figure out what to do with it if you can&#8217;t figure it out, because we&#8217;ve seen tons of data over the last 30 years and so we know what to do.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;So that&#8217;s my Improvement Insight. Let&#8217;s go out and start using QI Macros to make it faster and easier to train people. It makes it easy to learn. It&#8217;s easy to teach. It&#8217;s a great product to make life simpler for newbies. Let&#8217;s go out and improve something this week.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People come up to us at improvement conferences and say: I wish I&rsquo;d known about QI Macros when I was doing my Green Belt, Black Belt or DNP project.
