Quality improvement

What is Quality Improvement?

This refers to the process of identifying areas for improvement in a healthcare system or organization and implementing strategies to improve the quality of care provided to patients. Quality improvement efforts may involve analyzing data on patient outcomes, surveying patients and staff for feedback, and implementing evidence-based practices to improve care.

Examples of quality improvement initiatives in healthcare include reducing hospital readmissions, improving medication safety, and reducing healthcare-associated infections.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are bacterial infections that occur in the urinary system, including the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. The most common cause of UTIs is bacteria, typically Escherichia coli (E. coli), which is found in the gut. UTIs can affect people of all ages and genders, but are more common in women due to the shorter length of their urethra, making it easier for bacteria to enter the bladder.
