What is a QIP?
My answer: "A QIP is a Quality Improvement Plan," : Does this need more ? My teachers tell me I get carried away sometimes when it's a very straightforward question.

What is the aim of the QIP?

To evaluate service's current practices through self-assessment against the National Quality
Standard, and then identify the practices they can or should improve based on what they have found
so that continuous improvement is an ongoing process

So that's my answer, I'm just debating if it's enough or not There's quite a big space on the second question, but I don't know what else I can really add

I think for your first question you need to add a little more. Something like:

The National Regulations require approved services to have a Quality Improvement Plan (QIP). A QIP helps providers to document the strengths of their services and to recognise areas for improvement.

For the second question:

The aim of a QIP is to help providers self-assess their performance in delivering quality education and care and to plan future improvements. The QIP also helps the regulatory authorities with their assessment of the service.

Hope this helps,
