Hello Kevin S.
I think that this information I found on the John Hopkin's Medicine website should help you decide what's the right answer here:
What is quality improvement (QI)? Let’s look at some definitions.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention defines quality improvement as“…a continuous and ongoing effort to achieve measurable improvements in the efficiency, effectiveness, performance, accountability, outcomes, and other indicators of quality in services or processes which achieve equity and improve the health of the community.” 13
The U. S. Department of Health and Human Services defines quality improvement as“…systematic and continuous actions that lead to measurable improvement in health care services and the health status of targeted patient groups.” 15
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality defines quality improvement as“…the framework we use to systematically improve the ways care is delivered to patients.” 1
If you'd like to consult this resource, which has much more on QI, here is the link:
