Appendix E-3. Sample Leading Practices Survey
Introduction to the Sustainability Pilot Project
The Louisiana Health Care Quality Forum (LHCQF) has been selected as one of two pilot Community Quality Collaborative (Community Quality Collaborative) sites for intensive technical assistance focused on developing and refining strategies for sustainability. This survey is one component in the pilot project to guide the LHCQF through this process.
The end product of this project will be a sustainability plan document and supporting workplan. Once the pilot projects are complete, the tools and results will be shared with all of the other Community Quality Collaboratives in the Learning Network.
