Department Quality Improvement Plan

CREATE THE DEPARTMENT QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN (DQIP)

After departments receive all feedback (Review Team Report and Dean’s Response), the programs should use the feedback to develop the program’s quality improvement plan. The program’s faculty has three months to create a five-year quality improvement plan. The department uses a template, similar to that below, to outline an action and plan for each review team recommendation.

DEPARTMENT QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN (DQIP)

For each recommendation, indicate the following:

  • Review team recommendation.
  • Dean’s response.
  • Department response/action plan.
  • Resources required.
  • Projected date.
  • Follow-up person.
  • Date completed.

A PDF copy of this template is available.

REVIEW DQIP WITH DEAN AND VP FOR ACADEMICS

When the improvement plan is complete, the department chair gains the approval of the dean and together they go over it with the academics vice president. The academics vice president will make recommendations for how to include any applicable recommendations into budgetary requests.

To request a quality improvement plan for any of our major programs, you can contact Assessment Services at assessment@byuh.edu.
