Quality Projects
Quality Assurance (QA) projects are undertaken within the hospital to evaluate the outcomes of processes and services and to increase the efficiency of the services provided. Quality assurance includes such terms as: ‘clinical audit’; ‘service evaluation’; and ‘quality improvement.’
While QA is not research, it exists on a continuum and has some similarities. However, for those QA projects that do not meet the threshold for research, no ethics review is required, although it is recognised that consideration of whether such review is required will be an important consideration for peer-reviewed journals in the event that the conductor of the QA project wishes to publish the outcomes.
