Abstract
Despite the increase in quality improvement (QI) education both in practice and in health professions' education, gaps exist in the usefulness and success of QI projects. Barriers to successful QI are a result of delays in implementation, teamwork issues, and lack of QI knowledge. These barriers can be addressed using a QI Coach. A QI Coach is an expert in QI principles who has excellent communication and collaboration skills, and is experienced with organizational policies. The purpose of this article is to (a) describe the VA Quality Scholars (VAQS) QI Coach Model that includes the role of a coach and effective coaching strategies and (b) discuss lessons learned from the application of the VAQS QI Coach Model. The QI Coach facilitates success by providing novice QI teams with practical skills, encouragement, and support.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
