Quality and Safety in Health Care
http://qshc.bmj.com/

Quality & Safety in Health Care is a leading international peer review journal in this growing area of quality and safety improvement. It provides essential information for those wanting to reduce harm and improve patient safety and the quality of care. The journal reports and reflects research, improvement initiatives and viewpoints and other discursive papers relevant to these crucial aims with contributions from researchers, clinical professionals and managers and experts in organisational development and behaviour. The journal covers:

* the development and integration of quality and safety initiatives into routine practice
* experience of improving practice in all sectors of health care services
* the influence of management and organisational learning on the quality and safety of clinical care
* the views of consumers and their role as promoters of improved quality and safety in health care
* research relevant to health care quality and safety from a wide range of relevant sources including non-medical domains

QSHC aims to contribute actively to the debate about the quality and safety of health care by exploring subjects and ideas (from both routine clinical and managerial practice and research) which concern and inform this debate and which focus on real benefits to patients.
