“…Institutions and educational programs should consider additional clinician and managerial education in QI methodology. To our knowledge, no peerreviewed articles have assessed QI training needs for PTs; however, a systematic review describes QI education for health professions, 116 and other medical disciplines have described needs 16,117,118 and guidelines. 119,120 In alignment with the American PT Association's strategic plan for improving quality of care, 121 and to better understand current exposure to QI in PT curricula, a needs assessment may be warranted.…”

Introduction: Quality improvement (QI) is a useful methodology for improving healthcare, often through iterative changes. There is no prior review on the application of QI in physical therapy (PT). Purpose and Relevance: To characterize and evaluate the quality of the QI literature in PT. Methods: We searched four electronic databases from inception through September 1, 2022. Included publications focused on QI and included the practice of PT. Quality was assessed using the 16-point QI Minimum Quality Criteria Set (QI-MQCS) appraisal tool. Results: Seventy studies were included in the review, 60 of which were published since 2014 with most (n = 47) from the United States. Acute care (n = 41) was the most prevalent practice setting. Twenty-two studies (31%) did not use QI models or approaches and only nine studies referenced Revised Standards for QI Reporting Excellence guidelines. The median QI-MQCS score was 12 (range 7–15). Conclusions/Implications: Quality improvement publications in the PT literature are increasing, yet there is a paucity of QI studies pertaining to most practice settings and a lack of rigor in project design and reporting. Many studies were of low-to-moderate quality and did not meet minimum reporting standards. We recommend use of models, frameworks, and reporting guidelines to improve methodologic rigor and reporting.

“…10 Existing literature focuses more on resident involvement in quality improvement and patient safety activities than it does on other aspects of residency training. [11][12][13][14] This is likely due to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requirements to address competencies in systemsbased practice, 15 which include residents' participation in identifying system errors and implementing potential systems solutions. In addition, existing literature largely focuses on resident involvement in change management at a single training site.…”

“…In addition, existing literature largely focuses on resident involvement in change management at a single training site. 12,13 Our own prior research has involved several primary care residencies on a variety of curricular and clinical change topics, including but not limited to resident satisfaction, the impact of novel training tracks, and interprofessional care and education. We found that resident satisfaction was highest when residency programs implemented integrated case management and was lowest when these programs expanded clinic hours and implemented new electronic health records.…”

Background and Objectives: Most research in residency training has focused on quality improvement within a single program. We explored resident involvement in curricular and clinical practice change, the learning environment, and resident satisfaction in 3-year family medicine residencies compared to matched 4-year residencies. Methods: We used two surveys to capture data. One was for program directors, which assessed the level of resident involvement in curricular and practice transformation. The second was a resident survey, which asked residents to rate their involvement in curricular change and practice transformation, the learning environment, and satisfaction with training. Both were administered annually between 2013 and 2019. Response rates ranged from 84.6% to 100%. Results: Findings revealed no overall difference in resident involvement in curricular change, but the program director survey findings indicated that a higher proportion of residents in 4-year programs were using a broader diversity of approaches to working on quality improvement (QI) projects compared to those in 3-year programs. We also found statistical differences in the number of QI projects completed per year, with 34.1% completing three or more in 4-year programs compared to 13.3% in 3-year programs (P<.001). We found a positive correlation between resident involvement, learning environment, and satisfaction with training for both 3-year (range 0.489–0.666; P=.001) and 4-year residents (range 0.441–0.529; P=.001). Conclusions: Four-year residents were involved in a greater number of quality improvement projects and had a more diverse profile of involvement than those in 3-year residency programs. Involvement in practice and curricular change and the learning environment were associated with greater levels of resident satisfaction with training in both 3-year and 4-year programs.
