Key result
Nine quality improvement models were identified for general surgery, categorized into industry-derived and surgery-specific models, which are increasingly used to improve efficiency, safety, and quality of care.
Why the study?
Do quality improvement models and frameworks improve efficiency, safety, and quality in surgical departments?
Systematic Review (n=25)
Do quality improvement models and frameworks improve efficiency, safety, and quality in surgical departments?
Quality improvement models and frameworks can be utilized in surgical departments to enhance efficiency, safety, and patient satisfaction.
According to the findings of this study, there are different models and frameworks with different aspects and dimensions for QI in surgery, which is recommended to use either of these models alone or with each other for specific circumstances. The use of these models in surgery is increasing, and it is recommended that these models could be used according to their functions in cases such as reducing the unnecessary use of resources, increasing the satisfaction of patients and their families with health care and improving the efficiency, safety and quality of healthcare in the surgical departments.
