Standard setting for outpatient gynaecology procedures: a multidisciplinary framework for implementation.
This chapter describes the changing cultural background of health care from which any service is delivered. In particular, the authors hope to outline cultural, educational, technical and environmental changes that have been used as opportunities to develop a quality-assessed outpatient hysteroscopic service. Examined within the chapter will be the roles and limitations of evaluation and audit, research and the multidisciplinary team. The importance of process, relationships and collaborative working within organizations will be explored, and outpatient hysteroscopy will be used as a working example of how these inform a model of practice development.
