Quality Improvement (QI) sits at the core of better healthcare outcomes, cost effectiveness and patient experiences, guided by principles of patient-centred care and data-driven decisions.
Active engagement in QI initiatives is crucial for achieving the quadruple aim of improving population health, patient satisfaction, cost reduction, and provider well-being, requiring expertise in change management and data utilization.
PHNs hold a central position in aiding healthcare providers to achieve their QI goals, with a focus on improving the efficiency of medical services and enhancing care coordination, especially for vulnerable patients.
While Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) procedures have notably enhanced healthcare outcomes, it is important to note that healthcare services themselves account for only 10-20% of these improvements.
To propel QI initiatives forward, the NINCo concentrates on nurturing local leadership, cultivating a culture of quality improvement, advocating for alternative funding sources, investing in robust data infrastructure, and facilitating the implementation of systems within primary care settings.
