Improving healthcare: a handbook for practitioners

Good intentions to do our best in healthcare are not enough.

Healthcare professionals need to know how to close the gap between best evidence and practice, by understanding and applying quality improvement principles and processes. 'Improving Healthcare' is a practical guide, providing healthcare staff with the knowledge and skills that enable them to implement, evaluate and disseminate a quality improvement project in their own workplace.

With a comprehensive coverage, chapters cover the history, selection and application of quality improvement philosophies and methods in clinical healthcare at team, unit, organisational and system levels.
