Quality improvement expertise and support

“Healthcare delivery is a complex system that is constantly evolving, and its improvement is a journey, not a destination” Don Berwick, Institute for Heathcare Improvement

Improvement methods are indispensable to service recovery, long-term population health and the reduction of health inequalities. They provide a structured, collaborative and inclusive approach to both sustained transformation and continuous improvement. A common approach at system level is to use the best of the varied improvement approaches available – from service transformation and lean six sigma to quality assurance and cultural change – to further embed these practices into everyday activities and organisational culture.

We believe that it is important to take a thoughtful and tailored approach to quality improvement, informed by evidence of ‘what works’.  We are committed to working closely with the Health Foundation’s Q community as well as bodies such as THIS Institute and academic partners to build evidence about ‘what works’, utilising this knowledge to support meaningful quality improvement.
