Thông tin chi tiết
Tóm tắt : | 26 p. This is a Health Evidence Network (HEN) synthesis report on the advantages and limitations of different quality and safety tools for health care. The term “quality tools” includes many safety and quality methods, frameworks, programmes or systems. Some are diagnostic methods to help decision-making, some are for intervention and change only, and some include both methods for diagnosis and intervention. The main recommendations from this synthesis of the literature are based on a few studies which give weak evidence, and on a critical assessment of the descriptive research and practitioner report literature: 1) Simple continuous quality improvement tools are useful for more effective everyday problem-solving, not just for quality improvement; 2) There is some evidence that guidelines, patient pathway methods, quality costing and statistical process control are effective in health care, when properly applied. HEN, initiated and coordinated by the WHO Regional Office for Europe, is an information service for public health and health care decision-makers in the WHO European Region. Other interested parties might also benefit from HEN. |
