Lessons from implementation of a nephrology key performance indicator programme
The KPI programme enabled comparison of performance across nephrology units, but improvement in performance targets was not consistent over the 10-year period and the programme served as a means for benchmarking perhaps, rather than a quality improvement tool. Better understanding of each KPI and resources available for quality improvement is crucial for the success of a KPI programme.
