Healthcare Quality Improvement (QI)

Healthcare Quality Improvement (QI) is a systematic process that healthcare providers use to make healthcare services safer, more effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. It involves analyzing current practices, identifying areas for improvement, implementing changes, and monitoring outcomes to ensure better patient health results. QI aims to reduce errors, enhance patient experiences, and optimize resource use, ultimately leading to higher standards of care. By continuously evaluating and refining their methods, healthcare organizations can better meet the needs of patients and improve overall healthcare system performance.
