Course Overview

The data supporting clinical quality indicators is usually present but rarely assembled into a decision. Clinical staff will work around a process for this area of health and pharmaceutical services that obstructs care, and they will be right to. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting the health and pharmaceutical services capability, ready to be adapted internally. Ambition around clinical quality indicators outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The programme takes participants through this strand of health and pharmaceutical services end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in the health and pharmaceutical services capability rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The level assumes working familiarity with the clinical service but no prior formal training in clinical quality indicators. Applied research in health and pharmaceutical services consistently shows that early structure around this area of health and pharmaceutical services reduces downstream rework. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda survives a hostile question.
