Guide to measurement for patient safety improvement

The Patient Safety First Campaign has launched a ‘How to Guide’ for Measurement for Improvement.

The guide helps managers and clinicians demonstrate if changes are really improvement by providing them with the ability to test changes and measure the impact successfully. This is essential for any area that wants to continuously improve safety. To do this, the guide says you may only need a few specific measures linked to clear objectives to demonstrate that changes are going in the right direction.

The guide is based on previously published guidance from the US Institute for Healthcare Improvement and will be of great practical value to anyone in healthcare that wants to demonstrate safety and other types of improvement brought about by implementing changes.
