Healthcare quality and evidence based practice

Clinicians and managers around the globe are struggling with the problem of how to deliver and manage increasingly complex healthcare systems. This module examines perspectives on and frameworks of healthcare quality and considers the interplay between governance, regulatory processes and healthcare quality.  It explores the role evidence plays in supporting clinicians, managers and policy makers and highlights the different evidential perspectives adopted by clinicians, managers and policy makers. It also tackles the thorny question of why it is often difficult to use evidence to transform clinical practice and service delivery.
