(Part One): How can healthcare organisations sustainably build capacity in quality improvement?

Capability building in QI is a prerequisite for high functioning health systems. But how can it be sustained over a period of years? The Southern Adelaide Local Health Network Department of Surgery and Perioperative Medicine runs an internally developed capability and support program known as the Continuous Improvement Program (CIP). What is unusual, is the length of time (15?years) that the CIP has been in place. This means the CIP has had time to evolve and foster a continuous support infrastructure, experienced personnel, and corporate memory. We evaluated the key features of what makes QI sustainable.
