Which of the following is a key element of the quality improvement process?

  1. Allocate financial bonuses to medical staff

  2. Document service descriptions

  3. Implement and test changes

  4. Maintain licensure records

The correct answer is: Allocate financial bonuses to medical staff

The correct answer is C. Implement and test changes. This is a key element of the quality improvement process as it involves putting the proposed changes into action and evaluating their impact. Options A, B, and D are not key elements of the quality improvement process. Allocating financial bonuses to medical staff, documenting service descriptions, and maintaining licensure records are important aspects of healthcare management and operations but not specifically related to the quality improvement process.
