The increasing prioritisation of healthcare quality across the six domains of efficiency, safety, patient-centredness, effectiveness, timeliness and accessibility has given rise to accelerated change both in the uptake of initiatives and the realisation of their outcomes to meet external targets.

Our review sought to establish the methodologies applied, and the nature and effectiveness of their application in the context of healthcare.
