Developing a framework for evaluating the impact of Healthcare Improvement Science Education across Europe: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Frontline healthcare professionals are well positioned to improve the systems in which they work. Educational curricula, however, have not always equipped healthcare professionals with the skills or knowledge to implement and evaluate improvements. It is important to have a robust and standardized framework in order to evaluate the impact of such education in terms of improvement, both within and across European countries. The results of such evaluations will enhance the further development and delivery of healthcare improvement science (HIS) education. We aimed to describe the development and piloting of a framework for prospectively evaluating the impact of HIS education and learning.

Methods

The evaluation framework was designed collaboratively and piloted in 7 Eu
