Background and audience • Evidence shows that the burden of poor quality of care amounts to 5-8 million deaths a year worldwide and results in 15-35% waste in healthcare spending (Lancet Commission on High Quality Health Systems) • Yet, despite efforts from governments, regional planners and healthcare providers around the world to improve quality of care, the quest for quality remains elusive at best • This three-day clinic targets decision-makers in low and middle-income countries to engage them in the design of context-specific strategies for quality improvement at the level of national and sub-national health systems Content and learning objectives • Participants will review state of the art evidence about shortfalls in quality of care globally, what interventions work to improve quality of care at macro and meso levels, key principles to design effective strategies to improve quality of care, how to use comparative data to inform quality strategies, and modern measurement systems for quality of care. Participants will consider the role of disruptive innovation in the development of their strategies. • By the end of the three-day clinic, participants will have developed the main elements of a context-specific strategy which they will have presented to world-leading experts and received first-hand feedback on through one-on-one clinics. They will be equipped with state-of-the-art knowledge and frameworks to think systematically about what set of interventions and broader strategies are required to improve quality of care at scale in their setting. Learning Philosophy • This clinic uses an active learning philosophy through which various approaches such as peer sharing, small group exercises and games, role playing, case studies and experts’ clinics are used to develop the craft skills of participants.
