Writing the QAR: Effectively Sharing Your Program’s Story

How can you turn your assembled evidence into a compelling account of your program’s quality and improvement? Join this session to learn about effective ways to present, organize, and share your self-study in the AAQEP Quality Assurance Report (QAR). We will review the components of the QAR, including a brief overview of the five required appendices, and look at the Quality Review Team Report template to consider how the QAR components relate to reviewers’ documentation needs. For a more complete consideration of the QAR, sign up for both this webinar and “Documenting Program Practices: QAR Appendices.”

Documenting Program Practices: QAR Appendices

The Quality Assurance Report (QAR) makes your program’s case for meeting each of the AAQEP standards, presented through a combination of narrative and focused appendices. In this webinar, you’ll learn about the five required appendices, which provide detail in support of particular aspects of Standards 3 and 4. We will discuss how each appendix is related to the body of the QAR, where and how information can be most clearly presented, and effective ways of integrating appendices in your report. For a more complete consideration of the QAR, attend the “Writing the QAR” webinar before this one.
