Abstract:
Quality improvement (QI) is an integral component of healthcare, driving safer, efficient patient-centred care. QI is a principle-based approach aimed at systematically solving problems to improve service provision and patient outcomes through continuous, iterative testing and adoption of changes. The aim of this article is to improve clinicians' understanding of QI and inspire paediatricians to embed QI into their day-to-day clinical practice. In this review, we explore the fundamental frameworks underpinning QI, the benefits and evidence supporting its transformative role in healthcare and discuss the challenges and strategies for sustaining quality-driven paediatric healthcare.
