Summary The methodology for improving quality in healthcare has evolved rapidly over the past decade. This has come about as a result of several factors: the large number of field experiences that have taken place in many countries worldwide and in a variety of different areas and specialities in healthcare delivery the increasing complexity of healthcare delivery and with that the emerging new needs for efficient and cost-effective care the increased expectations of our customers and lastly, the advances in our knowledge on improvement, management, and clinical practice. This monograph represents an update on quality improvement methodology, which incorporates the most recent thinking on how to implement improvement.
