Background:
Quality improvement in general practice needs to take into account not only the clinical behaviour of individual general practitioners but also the system within which they work.
Discussion:
Continuous quality improvement (CQI) is an approach to helping clinicians work toward 'best practice' through system wide support. Its emphasis is on the improvement of processes through leadership, a team approach, the use of data, and small scale quality improvement projects.
