Improving Practice: Reporting Quality Improvement Activities

There is a gap between what we know and what we do. Hearing and reading about new scientific knowledge alone is often not sufficient to make us adopt new practices. Yet, we do not clearly understand which approaches and methods most effectively change our behaviour as health care providers. Furthermore, in everyday clinical practice each of us encounters system problems that cannot be solved simply by applying new knowledge. Instead, these system problems require that we collectively develop practical solutions by trial and error. Either way, we can be more efficient in our learning when we share and critically review what others have already tried and what has or has not worked.
