Project Design Feedback and Professional Credits

To receive QI project design feedback and/or professional credits for your QI project, you must submit a QI Effort: Project Proposal application for credit using the QI Hub Application System. If you wish to obtain MOC/CME/NCPD (nursing) credit for your project, you must ensure your project follows the Meaningful Participation Criteria below.

  • We recommend submitting an application after you have completed your current state assessment, but before you have tested any interventions.
  • You can expect to receive personalized feedback on your project plan and the decision of approval for credit within 4 weeks of the day you submit the application.
