In the simplified quality scheme, CQI primarily focuses on which activity?

• A. Monitor precision only
• B. Monitor precision and improve
• C. Improve speed only
• D. Reduce costs

Answer: (B)

Continuous quality improvement is a cycle of measuring how well a process performs and using that information to make it better. In a simplified quality scheme, the focus is on both monitoring precision and taking steps to improve, creating a feedback loop that drives higher quality over time. Measuring what you currently do shows where gaps exist, while acting to close those gaps brings actual improvement. Without both parts, you might know how precise you are but not raise that precision, or you might push for faster speed or lower costs without data-driven changes to keep quality intact. This is why monitoring precision and improving is the best fit.
