Quality improvement training at all levels is designed to support two key components of Mayo Clinic’s strategic plan, 1) to deliver the highest-value, and most trusted care for our patients and 2) to achieve operational excellence by improving and maintaining efficiency, productivity, and quality (outcomes, safety, patient experience) in ...
A Quality Assurance/Quality Improvement program can be developed that is efficient, effective, educational and well accepted by all clinical research stakeholders. Keywords: Quality assurance, quality improvement, clinical research, good clinical practice, review, program development. 1. Introduction
The opportunity to mobilize linkages between quality improvement (QI) and research is at an early stage. This article describes some of the opportunities for and challenges of integrating QI and more traditional forms of clinical research to achieve broad improvements in medical care.
In today's health care environment, there is an ever-increasing focus on the quality of care delivered by providers of all clinical services. Insurers, accreditors (e.g., the Joint Commission, formerly referred to as the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations), and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) are all requiring objective proof of the quality of ...

Research and quality improvement provide a mechanism to support the advancement of knowledge, and to evaluate and learn from experience. The focus of research is to contribute to developing knowledge or gather evidence for theories in a field of study, whereas the focus of quality improvement is to standardize processes and reduce variation to improve outcomes for patients and health care ...
Objectives Quality Improvement (QI) and Implementation Science (IS) are both frequently utilised in health research. Little is known about how they are integrated within studies, and whether combined they add value. This systematic review sought to investigate how QI and IS theories and strategies are integrated within healthcare-based studies. Methods A systematic search was conducted across ...
Methods: The Roadmap is based on earlier iterations of the QUERI translational research pipeline, incorporating recent advancements in quality improvement and implementation science. Progressive, dynamic phases were operationalized to form an implementation process that promoted a participatory approach which enables stakeholders (health care ...
Identify and overcome some frequent barriers to successful quality improvement. Editor's key points. • Quality improvement (QI) methodology differs from that of clinical audit or empirical research. • Quality is most often defined in terms of the six domains of safety, clinical effectiveness, patient centredness, timeliness, efficiency, and ...
Ethical Considerations in Clinical Care, Clinical Research, and Quality Improvement. Holly A. Taylor, National Institutes of Health, spoke about the ethical considerations related to patient data collection in three areas: (a) clinical care, (b) clinical research, and (c) monitoring program effectiveness and quality improvement. Clinical Care
Quality improvement projects typically rely on clinical care resources, unlike research initiatives where grant funding is often required. Quality improvement work is published less frequently than research but does indeed make an important contribution to the literature on a specific patient care outcome or process.
