KIS resources for quality improvement projects, implementation science research, patient and public involvement and evaluation.
A presentation of the initial results from the Quality Improvement Training Theory of Change project. Presented at 6th UK Implementation Science Conference July 2023.
Quality improvement (QI) in healthcare is a cultural transformation process. We explored how routine reporting could be developed to aid visibility of the process for QI governance.
Watch a recording of a panel discussion and Q&A held with the NRAS on 28 June 2023. The traditional appointments system, with face-to-face appointments at fixed intervals, can mean that patients struggle to access care when they need it most. We hear from the teams at King's Improvement Science and the Health Innovation Network, and their continued work on an experimental remote monitoring system, that prevents unnecessary patient follow-ups. Expect to learn how the system is being evaluated, feedback direct from RA patients, why you should get involved in research.
This resource consolidates reporting guidelines relevant to implementation studies and research. A reporting guideline is “a checklist, flow diagram, or structured text to guide authors in reporting a specific type of research,” according to the EQUATOR network.
...and social care interventions and services during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. An interactive resource to support the rapid implementation and evaluation of health and social care innovations, interventions and new services during, and after, the Covid-19 pandemic.
This report includes a detailed summary of the background, planning, delivery, evaluation, and outcomes of a consensus-based workshop that aimed to develop the PPI strategy for the Centre for Implementation Science and KIS.

This resource will help you to understand what quality improvement is (and is not), and includes a list of recommended reading and useful websites. It also contains recommendations for people who are thinking of setting up a quality improvement project.
The resource aims to help you formulate ideas for feasible collaborative quality improvement projects that are likely to last for a period of weeks or months. It outlines key questions that should be asked before you start a quality improvement project, and should help you to devise quality improvement projects that are more likely to achieve their aims.
This template will help you structure and create a detailed plan for conducting and evaluating a quality improvement project in a health or social care service.
This resource includes recommendations based on involvement work KIS have carried out in three quality improvement projects that were led by health professionals and supported by KIS. It is for anyone who wants to involve patients, service users and members of the public in quality improvement projects in a meaningful and productive way.
This is a practical resource for anyone involved in a project that aims to improve health or care services, or to change practice. It encourages you to think about communication from the very start of the project, and to build communication into your project plan.
This guide signposts resources for evaluating health and social care service initiatives, including quality improvement projects and programmes.
The ImpRes tool aims to help you successfully apply implementation science concepts, principles and methods to implementation research by providing a step-by-step approach to designing high quality and rigorous implementation projects
The ImpRes guide provides a systematic step-by-step approach to designing implementation research and is intended to be used in conjunction with the ImpRes tool.
