February Journal Club Information

Information about the article: Lachman P, Batalden P and Vanhaecht K. A multidimensional quality model: an opportunity for patients, their kin, healthcare providers and professionals to coproduce health [version 3; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations].

It is twenty years since the US Institute of Medicine (IOM) defined quality in healthcare, as comprising six domains: person-centredness, timeliness, efficiency, effectiveness, safety and equity. Since then, a new quality movement has emerged, with the development of numerous interventions aimed at improving quality, with a focus on accessibility, safety and effectiveness of care. Further gains in equity and timeliness have proven even more challenging.

About the Health Quality Journal Club

The HQ Journal Club is an event that brings together academics, health professionals & the wider community to engage with topics related to health quality including risk, patient safety & quality improvement. Each meeting is led by a guest editor who has selected that month's journal article for review and discussion. This year in particular, journal club activities provide us with a virtual connection to our colleagues and to students and increase the exposure of those that attend to the Health Quality global network.
