Clinical practice improvement in the genetics clinic [PDF]
Quality in health is defined as ‘doing the right thing, the first time, in the right way, and at the right time”. A model for practical quality improvement in the genetic unit will be presented, along with tools and techniques relevant to the practice of clinical genetics, and examples from real life practice.
