Development of methods for WHO quality standards for child and youth mental health services to improve quality of care and patient safety in the WHO European region
The methods taken to develop quality standards need to be rigorous to ensure that standards accurately define high-quality care for a service. There is a need to develop a unified approach to developing quality standards. It is hoped that this paper will provide inspiration for others developing quality standards for child and youth mental health services and spark research in this area.
