What is Quality Improvement?
“The conception of improvement finally reached as a result of the review was to define improvement as better patient experience and outcomes achieved through changing provider behaviour and organisation through using a systematic change method and strategies.” (Dr John Øvretveit, Does Improving Quality Save Money? Sept 2009).
Quality Improvement
We have a number of committees and working groups which look after quality in emergency departments, with the aim of improving standards and patient care.
A key part of this work is our Quality Improvement Programme (QIPs). We currently have three programs running for 2026; Adolescent Mental Health (Year 1), Care of Older People (Year 4) and Time Critical Medication (Year 3).Please note, the National Data Opt Out Policy began on 31 March 2022 and as data inputted into QIPs is anonymous, it does not apply to RCEM – you can however read our statement on it here.
