Quality Improvement Collaboratives
Quality Improvement Collaboratives (QICs) involve groups of professionals coming together, either from within an organisation or across multiple organisations, to learn from and motivate each other to improve the quality of health services. Teams from multiple health facilities will collaborate to share learning on a given topic and apply a structured cycle of change testing. The overall aim being to help these organisations to achieve their goal of improving care delivery and enhancing patient outcomes.
This month we’ve prepared several extremely helpful articles about QICs, and we’d like to share them with you.
