Abstract

Patients in need of healthcare expect high quality personalized care, which is also the primary goal of service providers. The main objective of our study was to synthesize the current evidence on the quality of patient care in hospital management. Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycInfo, and ASSIA were searched from 2000 to April 2021, and reference lists of included studies were searched. The included studies describe the current evidence for the quality of patient care in hospital management. No software was used to analyze the data. The data are extracted on the basis of a specific form containing (Name of the author, year of publication, country, method and results). Results and Conclusions: Communicating a better understanding of health care quality is an important preliminary step towards health care quality research and initiatives. Without clear meaning, quality improvement can be sporadic or ineffective. Competent authorities should consider shaping the curriculum to provide training for future professionals to increase patient satisfaction. Improving the quality of health services requires strong leadership from national governments, targeted local support and action at the health facility level. At all levels, there is a need to engage and empower the communities served by the health system. Improving the quality of health services requires special attention to the creation and learning of knowledge. Lessons on the delivery of quality care should be systematically documented, documented and shared within and across countries.
