Authors: White, Mark; Butterworth, Tony; Wells, John SG
Description: Concerns about patient safety and reducing harm have led to a particular focus on initiatives that improve
healthcare quality. However Quality Improvement (QI) initiatives have in the past typically faltered because they fail to
fully engage healthcare professionals, resulting in apathy and resistance amongst this group of key stakeholders. Productive
Ward: Releasing Time to Care (PW) is a ward-based QI programme created to help ward-based teams
redesign and streamline the way that they work; leaving more time to care for patients. PW is designed to engage and
empower ward-based teams to improve the safety, quality and delivery of care.
