The development of a consensus definition for healthcare improvement science (HIS) in seven European countries: A consensus methods approach

Abstract

There is a limited body of research in the field of healthcare improvement science (HIS). Quality improvement and ‘change making’ should become an intrinsic part of everyone’s job, every day in all parts of the healthcare system. The lack of theoretical grounding may partly explain the minimal transfer of health research into health policy.
