Quality improvement in mental health

The UK charity The King’s Fund has published this report examining how a systematic approach to quality improvement can enhance the quality of care in mental health. The report’s findings show that where providers have introduced a quality improvement approach reduced lengths of stay in inpatient care, improved staff morale and reduced absence, reductions in violent incidents involving staff, and shorter waiting times have been achieved. Guidance is provided for for mental health leaders wanting to embed quality improvement in their organisations, and seek to engage and empower frontline teams, service users and carers to develop solutions collaboratively.
