Healthcare Quality and Patient Safety: Investigate strategies for improving healthcare quality and patient safety within Indian hospitals, focusing on best practices and case studies.

Abstract

The purpose of this research article is to investigate various techniques, best practises, and case studies that are targeted at improving the quality of healthcare and the safety of patients within Indian hospitals. This study investigates the current state of healthcare delivery in Indian hospitals, highlighting key challenges and areas for improvement. Along with the growing recognition of the importance of quality care and patient safety in achieving better health outcomes, this study dives into the current state of healthcare delivery in Indian hospitals. Drawing upon a comprehensive review of literature, data, and case studies, the paper identifies and examines various strategies for improving healthcare quality and patient safety, including standardisation of processes, health information technology (HIT) adoption, continuous quality improvement (CQI) initiatives, fostering a patient safety culture, and promoting multidisciplinary teamwork. Furthermore, the research paper highlights the best practises that have been implemented by leading hospitals in India, such as Apollo Hospitals, Narayana Health, and the Aravind Eye Care System. These hospitals have already demonstrated significant success in improving the quality of healthcare and the safety of patients through the implementation of innovative approaches and interventions that are supported by evidence. The study elucidates key lessons learnt and actionable insights that might inform future quality improvement initiatives in Indian healthcare settings by analysing these case studies and providing an analysis of the implications of those lessons.
