TL;DR
Performance according to standards is the cornerstone of quality assurance in healthcare and the end result inspiring many quality assurance activities, but even when locally appropriate, evidence-based standards are available, many health workers do not routinely follow them.
Abstract
Performance according to standards is the cornerstone of quality assurance in healthcare and the end result inspiring many quality assurance activities. However, even when locally appropriate, evidence-based standards are available, many health workers do not routinely follow them. Motivating and enabling health workers to perform in accordance with standards is deterred by many factors—behavioral, social, and organizational—as well as the nature of healthcare activities and their setting.
