Combining quality improvement and critical care training: Evaluating an ICU CPR training programme quality improvement initiative at the National Hospital in Tanzania
A pre/post analysis demonstrated improvement in knowledge, skills and increased confidence towards emergencies. This study suggests a Critical Care Training Program significantly improves the knowledge among providers and that QI impacts culture of change. This research exemplifies a systematic approach to strengthening capacity of critical care delivery in limited resource settings, with implications for further innovation in other low- and middle-income countries.
