THE 3RD NATIONAL HEALTHCARE QUALITY IMPROVEMENT CONFERENCE, 2016
Theme: “Clients at the Centre of Health Care Quality Improvement”
Dates: 22nd- 24th August
Venue: Kampala Serena Conference Centre
2 3rd National QI Conference Program
Foreword:
The Quality Assurance Department in the MoH Uganda started in 1994 as the Quality Assurance Program (QAP) and is mandated to among other things: Coordinate sector performance monitoring and evaluation; ensure standards and guidelines are developed, disseminated and used effectively; conduct supportive supervision; facilitate establishment of internal quality assurance capacity at all levels.
Since the year 2000, a number of methodologies have been applied to assess and improve the quality of service delivery. These include the Yellow Star Strategy, Standard Unit of Output, The District League Table, Service Provision Assessment, Program (Disease) based facility assessments, Service Availability and Readiness Assessment, the Lots Quality Assessment Sampling methodology, and many others. The MoH has adapted the Health Facility Quality of Care Assessment Program (HFQAP) as the sector-wide approach for measurement of quality of care and a basis for QI. The goal of the HFQAP will be to provide information on quality of care and the general functionality of both the public and private health facilities in Uganda and use it for Continuous Quality Improvement.
The Health Sector has been implementing the Quality Improvement Framework and Strategic Plan (QIF&SP) 2010/11-2014/15 whose major aim was to institutionalize, harmonize and coordinate HealthCare Quality Improvement interventions in the country. An external evaluation was conducted and highlighted that QI interventions in the country over the HSDP period of 2015/16-2019/20 needed to focus on reduction of waste (efficiency gain) and patient safety promotion through client centered care. A number of districts and health facilities are implementing Quality Improvement (QI) initiatives using the 5S and Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) methodologies but at varying levels.
The MOH has been working with several Development and Implementing partners to institutionalize QI interventions with the stewardship of the Quality Assurance Department in planning, coordination and monitoring of QI activities. The MOH has also developed/revised several strategic documents including but not limited to the Quality Improvement Framework and Strategic Plan 2016-20, QI Manual, Service Standards, Service Delivery Standards, Client & Patient Charters and Support Supervision Guidelines.
The National QI Conference has therefore been planned as a forum for peer learning through show casing QI work from across the country coupled with expert presentations on QI work from National and International experts. The National QI Conference 2016 will bring together over 500 delegates from all levels of the health sector including, Development & Implementing Partners, HealthCare Service Providers and Health Consumer Organizations under the theme Clients at the Center of HealthCare Quality Improvement. The Conference has been majorly supported by USAID-ASSIST project and other implementing partners.
We are looking forward to your active participation in the 3rd National QI Conference;
Prof. Anthony Mbonye
Ag. Director General Health Services
3 3rd National QI Conference Program
Conference Objectives
1. To share experience in implementation of QI from Uganda. 2. To share lessons learnt in implementing QI from the international community. 3. To launch some national policy guidelines on QI:
i. The Health Sector Quality Improvement Framework and Strategic Plan (2015/16 to 2019/20) ii. The Quality Improvement Manual 2015.
About the theme of the 3rd National QI Conference:
Quality is defined as either performing according to expected standards or meeting the reasonable needs of the clients. In Uganda, Quality improvement interventions have been implemented since 1994. Client involvement in decision making in health care and treatment is increasingly becoming a necessity. The theme for this conference “Clients at the centre of healthcare improvement” was chosen to share experiences on how the different QI interventions that have been implemented have involved clients in improvement of health care. Furthermore, the theme was chosen to learn whether these interventions have successfully addressed clients’ reasonable needs. It is expected that participants will learn best practices and integrate them in the routine care for clients.
