The development of quality indicators involves several steps:
1. Identification of Key Areas: Determining the critical aspects of healthcare that need to be measured. 2. Literature Review: Reviewing existing research and guidelines to identify evidence-based practices. 3. Stakeholder Consultation: Engaging healthcare professionals, policymakers, and patients to gather input and ensure the indicators are relevant and practical. 4. Testing and Validation: Piloting the indicators to ensure they are reliable and valid measures of quality.
