Which term describes the ongoing assessment of implemented quality strategies?

• A. OBQI Process
• B. Monitoring Plan
• C. Improvement Computation
• D. Exclusion Criteria

Answer: (B)

Ongoing assessment of implemented quality strategies is carried out through a Monitoring Plan. This plan lays out what performance indicators will be tracked, how data will be collected, how often monitoring occurs, who is responsible, where results are reported, and what action triggers follow-up. By regularly gathering and reviewing data against goals, teams can verify whether changes are producing the desired effects, detect any drift over time, and adjust interventions to sustain improvements.

The OBQI Process is a broader quality-improvement cycle that guides identifying opportunities and planning actions, rather than the hands-on, continuous tracking itself. Improvement Computation isn’t a standard term for monitoring, and Exclusion Criteria relate to deciding which data or patients are included in analyses, not to the ongoing monitoring of strategies.
