This book is for anyone who is interested in improving quality in
healthcare. It will appeal to those who are traditionally
responsible for quality matters, as well as practicing clinicians
and leaders. Unusually, it will also be as relevant to those who
have the keenest interest in the quality of care - interested
citizens. It is a deliberate antidote to the anti-intellectual, QI
tool driven, mechanistic approach that still dominates much of
healthcare quality improvement work. The authors - both of whom
have extensive experience of working in and around quality issues
in healthcare at a national, regional and local level - challenge
such approaches, which they believe fail to take account of patient
and organisational context and invite reductionism, cherry picking,
atomisation of complex issues, leading ultimately to simplistic and
unsustainable outcomes. Key features of the book:
·      An exploration of some
of the often-overlooked and misunderstood core concepts of quality;
their history and meaning in a contemporary context.
·      A framework to
"question the work" using four interconnected conceptual domains as
a valuable framework to consider improving quality and reducing
failure demand. ·     Â
Critical re-examination of the dominant approaches to change that
are frequently adopted in "quality" work, many of which have been
rooted in scientific management that have failed to live up to
their promise – particularly transformational.
·      Exploring how an
inter-disciplinary perspective can reframe aspects of quality
thinking.
