The Standards for Quality Improvement Reporting Excellence (SQUIRE) guidelines were updated to SQUIRE 2.0. This revision enhances the reporting of healthcare quality improvement interventions, including theory, context, and intervention details.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Quality Improvement
- Scientific Reporting Standards
Background:
- The initial Standards for Quality Improvement Reporting Excellence (SQUIRE 1.0) were published in 2008.
- Significant advancements in healthcare quality improvement science necessitate updated reporting guidelines.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the development and key components of the revised SQUIRE 2.0 guidelines.
- To provide a standardized framework for reporting healthcare improvement interventions.
Main Methods:
- Revision process occurred between 2012 and 2015.
- Methods included semistructured interviews, focus groups, international steering group feedback, consensus meetings, and pilot testing.
- Public comment period was incorporated for finalization.
Main Results:
- SQUIRE 2.0 emphasizes three core components for reporting improvement work: theory, context, and intervention.
- The guidelines accommodate the complexity and multidimensional nature of healthcare improvement methods.
- A common platform is established for sharing discoveries in scholarly literature.
Conclusions:
- SQUIRE 2.0 offers an updated and comprehensive framework for reporting healthcare quality improvement.
- The guidelines aim to improve the clarity and consistency of published improvement research.
- Adherence to SQUIRE 2.0 will facilitate the dissemination and understanding of effective healthcare improvement strategies.
