  As professionals, we can no longer rely upon our own judgement to monitor the standard of patient care. The government and the purchaser demand objective, structured measurement of the quality of the care offered to our patients. At the same time, an ever-increasing workload brings its own pressures. The second edition of this successful book addresses these issues. It outlines the theoretical background of quality assurance and provides practical guidelines on the implementation of a variety of monitoring tools. The approach has been designed to give the reader an easy grasp of the main principles associated with the tool, and to enable successful implementation of the system.

  In the 1997 White Paper 'The New NHS, Modern, Dependable' the Government set out its plans for a new NHS with quality at its heart (a vision shared by many health professionals).
  This book explores the application of the various approaches to quality assurance. The development of the subject, from its early days to the latest initiatives including guidelines, integrated care pathways and the new clinical governance instrument 'Probe', is explored as is its relevance to the pursuit of excellence.
