Quality of care is an essential outcome in modern healthcare, and improving this care is an integral part of the daily work of all healthcare professionals. The Handbook of Quality Improvement in Healthcare systematically covers the most modern theories and methods of improvement and implementation science in a practical and easy to follow format. It focusses on key challenges in healthcare, such as developing safe person-centred care, ensuring equity of care, meeting the challenge of climate change, and ensuring that care is safe, effective, timely, and delivered efficiently. By using helpful case studies throughout, and providing ethical, psychological, and practical advice on quality of care, this pocket-sized handbook is the ideal guide to all in healthcare today.
... this is an up-to-date and comprehensive book on quality improvement in healthcare. It would be ideal reading for healthcare providers seeking to upskill on quality improvement or for quality improvement practitioners who wish to have all the key information on both theories and tools together in one place. * Bryony Dean Franklin, Centre for Medication Safety and Service Quality, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, London, UK *
the recent publication of concise, practice-oriented handbooks is particularly welcome. Handbook of Quality Improvement in Healthcare systematically presents the theories and methods of improvement and implementation science in a rigorous yet accessible format. By framing quality improvement across its evolution - from quality assurance (Quality 1.0), to system-wide improvement (Quality 2.0), and finally to co-production of health(Quality 3.0) - the handbook helps readers understand how the same tools can serve different strategic purposes depending on the improvement paradigm, the level of the system, and the desired outcomes. * S.
