What is Quality Improvement?

4 out of 5 (3 ratings)

Continuous improvement is a skill requirement for all staff working across healthcare.

Quality Improvement (QI) is not just a method or model, but more an approach to personal or organisation learning, development and improvement.

QI helps to bring a systematic approach to tackling complex problems by:
Focusing on outcomes
Flattening hierarchies
Giving everyone a voice
Bringing staff and service users together to improve and redesign the way that care is provided
QI can be defined as the application of a systematic approach that uses specific techniques to improve quality.
