Capture the wisdom of your workforce

At last, a quality improvement tool teams love to use

The key to improvement is learning and the key to learning is the ability to transform

raw experience into insights. Structured conversations powered by MEERQAT enable

this transformation. MEERQAT is an easy-to-use quality improvement tool that helps

teams reflect on what they do, what works, what doesn’t and why.

Meerqat Overview

At the heart of MEERQAT are program logic models, theory of change models and other process maps. These reveal how inputs link to activities, outputs and outcomes, and ultimately to objectives.

Who is MEERQAT for?

• Distinguishing real problems from “squeaky wheels”
• Engaging staff meaningfully in quality improvement activities
• Translating evaluation outcomes into efficient and effective quality improvement action plans
• Keeping track of progress on the quality improvement journey

How does MEERQAT work?

  1. START WITH A BASEMAP
    Select one of the basemaps in our Library, or use our Basemap Builder to create a new basemap or adapt an existing basemap. The MEERQAT team is also available to assist you in creating basemaps customised for your requirements.

  2. COMPLETE A TEAM-BASED ASSESSMENT
    Work with your team members to rate how well each item in the map is being achieved, drawing on the first-hand knowledge and experience of staff. Include notes and attach documents to add to the evidence base for team ratings.
    This process helps team members share their knowledge about important aspects of the system and learn about each other’s contribution. At the same time, managers are informed about the day-to-day realities of conducting that process.

  3. REVIEW THE BIG PICTURE
    This is where the great value of MEERQAT becomes evident. Item ratings are displayed visually in the map. The completed map gives you a view of the health of the entire process, highlighting the areas most in need of attention.

  1. DEVELOP AN ACTION PLAN
    Based on each assessed item in a map, MEERQAT generates a range of suggested actions for how problem areas can be improved. This forms the basis of an evidence-based quality improvement action plan that you then tailor to your priorities and needs.

  2. CREATE INFORMATIVE REPORTS
    Using MEERQAT’s reporting function, you can compare assessments to show improvements over time. You can also compare assessments from different organisational units for the same process.
