Implementing Improvement

You may be interested in these two new publications from the Health Foundation:
 
Lining Up: How do improvement programmes work?
This learning report looks at lessons from the Health Foundation’s Lining Up research project – an investigation into interventions to reduce central line infections. It explores the reasons why potentially promising improvement programmes might fall short when implemented in a new setting.
Quality improvement made simple This guide looks at organisational or industrial approaches to quality improvement. This is not a ‘how to’ guide. Instead, it offers a clear explanation of some common approaches used to improve quality, including where they have come from, their underlying principles and their efficacy and applicability within the healthcare arena
This bulletin is brought to you by Library and Knowledge Services. It aims to keep you up-to-date with improvement and QIPP issues. At the beginning of each month, a librarian will update the bulletin with relevant information published in the preceding month. If there are areas you think we also need to cover, please let us know.
