Trail Pack: INQUIRE: A Navigation Model

The INQUIRE Model provides a structured approach for healthcare professionals to select appropriate problem-solving methods, including Quality Improvement (QI), Evidence-Based Practice (EBP), Innovation, and Research. This model aids in identifying triggers, assessing projects, and ensuring effective solutions, ultimately fostering data-driven decision-making in healthcare improvement efforts.
