Quality Improvement Action Plan for YMCA SACC at Brookfield Spring 2015

Directions: Using the results of the selfassessment, prioritize the quality improvement area(s) to be completed within the plan. Not all quality improvement
areas need to be addressed. It is recommended that a program identifies three five aim/outcomes to work on. More aims/outcomes can be overwhelming
and too few will limit the success that you experience in your program. Please see definitions on the last page or call your local agency with questions.
