The Sustainability of Quality Improvement Initiatives: A Realist Review
FY 2017-18
Summary
Quality improvement programs seek to improve quality of care by systematically finding solutions to barriers and speeding the adoption of better practices. Unfortunately, evidence suggests that many such programs do not have a long-term impact, and thus waste precious healthcare resources. My research seeks to identify how healthcare organizations can best support the long-term sustainability of quality improvement programs.
