Quality improvement is considered part of "business as usual" in the health care field. Some institutions have progressed further into their quality improvement efforts than others. Nonetheless, there is always the opportunity to learn from the efforts of others and to adopt their methods for use in one's own setting when possible. Included in this article is a case study outlining the use of the FOCUS PDCA methodology for quality improvement. The information identifies ways of introducing and beginning quality improvement efforts in a way that can be translated into other ambulatory health care settings.
质量改进被视为医疗保健领域“日常工作”的一部分。一些机构在质量改进工作方面比其他机构进展得更远。尽管如此，总是有机会向他人的努力学习，并在可能的情况下采用他们的方法应用于自己的机构。本文包含一个案例研究，概述了使用FOCUS PDCA方法进行质量改进的情况。该信息确定了以一种可以转化到其他门诊医疗保健机构的方式引入和启动质量改进工作的方法。
