Systematic review of continuous quality improvement in Indigenous primary health care organisations

Continuous quality improvement (CQI) has emerged in the past two decades as a method to implement organisational interventions and improve quality of care in health services, but little is known about its long-term effectiveness and sustainability in Indigenous primary health care (PHC) organisations. We are conducting a systematic review of the international evidence for effectiveness of CQI in improving PHC services for Indigenous and ethnic minority populations to address this gap. This systematic review will consider the long-term evidence for patient outcomes, key strategies utilised, and barriers and facilitators to implementation of CQI.
