Description: “With the approaches described in this seminar, it becomes clear that for the clinician, there is no hospital too small for conducting improvement research; and for the scientist, there is no research question too big that can’t be answered and supported through a research network.

Join the ISRN for a discussion on easing the transition of a project from quality improvement to research.”
