An evaluation of the Health Foundation's Engaging with Quality Initiative

Background

The Engaging with Quality Initiative was inspired by the claim that clinicians are attentive to the need to improve quality in healthcare but are often not sufficiently or appropriately engaged in this process. EwQI has funded eight professionally led projects, each of which involves clinicians in different ways in different approaches to quality improvement.  

All the projects involve clinical areas where there is thought to be a bridgeable gap between good and actual practice. Each project includes measures to narrow the gap and to measure how successful this has been.
