Developing and piloting a set of quality-of-care indicators for Romanian public hospitals as part of a national programme to fund quality
This work presents a significant stride in improving Romanian public hospitals' quality of care and patient safety. It underscores the importance of high-level commitment, stakeholder engagement, and robust data practices in driving successful quality improvement efforts. Emphasising the role of data-driven and patient-centric approaches in achieving optimal healthcare outcomes, lessons learned offer insights for the continuation of quality improvement work in Romania but also for healthcare systems elsewhere.
