Background

Quality Assurance Programme came into being to meet and enhance satisfaction level among users of Government health facilities and for developing trust in Public health facilities. Quality Assurance in healthcare has become a top priority for healthcare providers. A high quality of healthcare can be maintained only by constantly measuring the effectiveness of organization that provide it. It includes a range of activities including review, evaluation, appraisal, surveillance and monitoring

Brief Note

          Quality Assurance is a never ending process of continuous improvement along with rapid advances in science, technology and medical knowledge. The sustainability of quality is a function of positive perception, result of good intention, sincere effort, intelligent thinking and skillful execution.

Guideline

          Quality Assurance includes NQAS (National Quality Assurance Standards), Kayakalp award to Public health facilities and LaQshya initiative.

NQAS- The cyclical process of Quality Assurance to meet the need of public health system in the country requires continuous  monitoring against defined standards and measurable elements. To sustain a viable Quality Assurance programme, regular assessment of health facilities by their own staffs and State and ‘action planning’ for traversing the observed gaps is required because the expectation goes beyond only cure and includes courtesy, behavior of staff, cleanliness of facility and delivery of prompt and respectful service.

 

KAYAKALP - A national initiative launched by Union Health Minister on 15th May 2015 to give awards to those public health facilities that demonstrate high levels of cleanliness, hygiene and infection control. Government of Bihar launched Kayakalp clean hospital award scheme for on 21st Aug 2015.

LaQshya -  A patient centric care that is intended to improve the quality of care in Labour room and Maternity Operation Theatre in high case load health facilities. It urges to undertake efforts in a campaign mode to ensure that respectful and high quality maternal care is provided to each woman during delivery and immediate postpartum period.
