Strengthening the contribution of quality improvement research to evidence based health care.
نویسنده
چکیده
T he suggestions by Davidoff and Batalden for strengthening reports on quality improvement offer useful guidance for those wishing to publish such work. Their rationale for providing this guidance stems from their perception that the failure to provide better information about local improvement efforts slows the spread of successful changes, limits the scrutiny of quality improvement work, and reduces the incentives to participate in such efforts. They are not the first to lament the variable quality of such reports on improvement. Yet Davidoff and Batalden focus primarily on the impact of enhancements in the reporting of quality improvement efforts on quality improvement practice. These efforts will also have an important impact on quality improvement research. And the benefits between research and practice are likely to be synergistic.
