For Cornerstone CQI, your project needs to be both:

• scalable – can it be expanded in scope?
• sustainable – can it be resourced and funded longer term?

These ensure that a successful project could be embedded into your organisation.

You will need to describe scalability and sustainability separately.

►

For example:

Could you adjust:

• patient numbers – by using a larger group?
• participating staff numbers – could more staff become involved?
• spread – could it be expanded to cover more conditions, or replicated elsewhere?

►

For example:

Do you have enough:

• staff – do you have enough staff time available?
• patients – will enough patients benefit to warrant it continuing?
• equipment or physical resources – do you have the resources available?
• financial resources – can you fund the ongoing staffing and equipment needed?
