  • Making it easy to do the right thing in healthcare [Elektronski vir] : advancing improvement science education through accredited pan European higher education modules
    MacRae, Rhoda ...
    Background: Numerous international policy drivers espouse the need to improve healthcare. The application of Improvement Science has the potential to restore the balance of healthcare and transform ... it to a more person-centred and quality improvement focussed system. However there is currently no accredited Improvement Science education offered routinely to healthcare students. This means there are a huge number of healthcare professionals who do not have the conceptual or experiential skills to apply Improvement Science in everyday practice. Methods: This article describes how seven European Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) worked together to develop four evidence informed accredited inter-professional Improvement Science modules for under and postgraduate healthcare students. It outlines the way in which a Policy Delphi, a narrative literature review, a review of the competency and capability requirements for healthcare professionals to practice Improvement Science, and a mapping of current Improvement Science education informed the content of the modules. Results: A contemporary consensus definition of Healthcare Improvement Science was developed. The four Improvement Science modules that have been designed are outlined. A framework to evaluate the impact the modules have in practice has been developed and piloted. Conclusion: The authors argue there is a clear need to advance healthcare Improvement Science education through incorporating evidence based accredited modules into healthcare professional education. They suggest if Improvement Science education, that incorporates work based learning, becomes a staple part of the curricula in inter-professional education it has real promise to improve the delivery, quality and design of healthcare.
