In FY 22/2023, the Quality Improvement (QI) team supported the Center of Excellence, Rwenzori, Bunyoro, and Mbale regions to use Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) as guided by the National Quality Improvement Framework and Strategic Plan (NQIF&SP) 2021-2025. We conducted the support through the recommended structures of the Regional Quality Improvement Committee (RECO), District Quality Improvement Committees (DICO), and Facility Quality Improvement Committees (FQIC).
We used the CQI methodology to provide patient-centered care and improve the quality of care provided to clients through the PDSA (Plan-Do-Study-Act) cycle to test innovations at the facility level.
QI structures were supported through monthly CQI coaching support to health facilities, support to Quarterly RECO and DICO meetings, and on-site mentorships for the national Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT), HIV Testing Services (HTS), and COT (Continuity of Treatment) QI collaboratives.
