Assuming you have established that the data are good enough to direct action AND that improving performance in this area is a priority for your team, you may wish to discuss the following options with your clinical leaders, Quality Improvement committees, team staff and/or patients:

• Contact your peers to determine their performance and work with them to either spread any processes they find have helped them or collaboratively test some new changes that might work for you AND your peers.
