Data-driven quality improvement in child health

Quality improvement (QI) is a systematic and co-ordinated approach to solving a problem (Quality improvement made simple. The Health Foundation, 2021) and is used to improve safety, effectiveness, and experience of care within healthcare. The approach to QI should be pro-active and patient centred. Within paediatrics this requires us to consider the voice of children and young people when designing improvement to ensure we are meeting their needs. Understanding the key principles and methodology of QI is essential to ensure success when bringing about change.
