Evaluating quality and ongoing improvement of clinical practice following HIV/AIDS education.
a comprehensive effort to improve quality and appropriateness of care in a large teaching hospital has been planned and implemented. Fuel for the initiative was gleaned from the combined energies of QA education, infection control, and administration. Challenges for continuous improvement of care for persons who are HIV positive are being anticipated through educational interventions and a program of ongoing evaluation. In concert, movement is toward a safer, more compassionate, cost-effective, and clearly communicated approach to care for patients with HIV/AIDS.
