dc.description.abstractQuality improvement (QI) in healthcare involves implementing small iterative changes by a team of people using a simple structuredframework to resolve problems, improve systems, and to improve patient outcomes. These efforts are especially important in a resource-limited setting where infrastructure, staff and funds are meagre. The concept of QI often appears complex to a new careprovider whofeels intimidated to participate in change activities. In this article, we describe our experience with QI activities to address various issuesin the Neonatal intensive care unit. QI efforts resulted in improved patient outcomes, and motivated careproviders. QI is a continuousactivity and can be done easily if the team is willing to learn from their experiences and use those lessons to adapt, adopt or abandonchanges, and improve further. Our institute has also developed Point of Care Quality Improvement (POCQI), a free online resource forlearning the science of QI, and also serves as a platform for sharing QI work.en_US
