INTRODUCTION Background Improving the quality of healthcare is a key priority in Kenya as reflected in a number of policy and strategy documents. According to Vision 2030, Kenya’s economic blueprint, the country aims to have an equitable and affordable healthcare system of the highest possible quality by the year 2030. The overarching goal of the Kenya Health Policy (Ministry of Health, 2014) is ‘attaining the highest possible health standards in a manner responsive to the population needs’. The policy aims to achieve this goal through supporting the provision of equitable, affordable and quality health and related services at the highest attainable standards to all Kenyans.

Rationale for the Review of KQMH The KQMH is a conceptual framework for an integrated approach to improved quality of healthcare in Kenya. In 2001, the Kenya Quality Model (KQM) was developed and introduced by the Ministry of Health (MOH), to guide the organisation of health services to deliver positive health impacts by addressing quality issues. The KQM consisted of standards and a master checklist. In 2008, the KQM was revised to customise it for the various levels of the healthcare system as described in the Kenya Essential Package of Health (KEPH). However, the 2008 review did not consider the clinical content of the quality model. Further, since 2008, there have been changes in the health sector, which needed to be reflected in a new model. These changes include the enactment of a new constitution in 2010; the development of the Kenya Health Policy 2014-2030; the adaption of the World Health Organisation Health Systems Building in the Kenya Health Sector Strategic and Investment Plan (KHSSP) 2014-2018; and the development of various clinical standards and guidelines among others. The first National Quality Policy Seminar held in Nairobi in 2013 recommended a review of the KQMH, to make it a national quality improvement tool and one that could be legitimized through regulation requiring all providers to use it. The seminar recognized that even though multiple approaches allow implementers to innovate, to be creative and to experiment, there is need to have a common national framework to guide all quality improvement initiatives. In addition, the MOH has identified the KQMH as the vehicle for improving quality of care in the health sector, therefore there is need to review and update it as a prelude for the development of national standards to be used in the national accreditation framework. The goal of the model is to improve adherence to standards and guidelines based on evidence-based medicine, as well as applying quality principles and tools and satisfying patient / client’s needs in a culturally appropriate way. The model uses Standards and Guidelines that are evidence-based and proven to be effective, efficient, affordable and acceptable. It also integrates patient partnership in the healthcare process.

Review Objective To ensure that the KQMH is comprehensive and reflects current national policies and strategies, as well as international developments and best practices in the delivery of health services.

Principles of the KQMH and Dimensions of Quality The KQMH integrates evidence-based medicine through wide dissemination of public health and clinical standards and guidelines embedded with total quality management and patient partnership. The eight principles underlying KQMH are:

Leadership Customer orientation Involvement of people and stakeholders Systems approach to management Process orientation Continuous quality improvement Evidence-based decision making

The 12 dimensions of the KQMH implemented through the standards described in this document are organised around structure, processes and results, as follows: I. Structure:

a) Leadership b) Human Resources c) Policies, Standards and Guidelines d) Facility and Infrastructure e) Supplies Management f) Equipment g) Transport h) Referral Systems i) Health Records and Health Management Information Systems j) Financial Management

II. Processes:

a) Outpatient services b) Patient-centred care c) Infection prevention and control d) Outpatient services e) Accidents and emergencies f) Surgical emergencies g) Anaesthesia h) Safe delivery i) Neonatal care j) Dialysis services k) Laboratory services l) Pharmacy services m) Radiology services

Page 11: CHECKLIST FOR ASSESSING - Quality Health Care Awards

n) Mortuary services

III. Results, measured against set key performance indicators.

Requirement This checklist is intended for use in all levels of health facilities, in line with the services provided. It should be used for facility self-assessment, peer assessment of network of facilities and by external assessors such as regulator or certification bodies. All facilities shall carry out self-assessment. The role of the assessor will be to validate the assessment results. The classification of levels of healthcare delivery is as defined by the Health ACT 2017 as shown in the table below. Level of healthcare delivery Roles Level 2: Dispensary/clinic Treatment of minor ailments

Rehabilitative services Preventive and promotive services. Does not provide in-patient services

Level 3: Health Centre Out-patient care Limited emergency care Maternity for normal deliveries Laboratories, oral health and referral services; Preventive and promotive services; In-patient observations

Level 4: Primary Hospital Clinical supportive supervision to lower level facilities Referral level out-patient care In-patient services Emergency obstetric care and oral health services Surgery on inpatient basis Client health education Specialized laboratory tests Radiology services Proper case management of referral cases Proper counter referral Provision of logistical support to the lower facilities in

the catchment area; Coordination of information flow from facilities in the

catchment area. Level 5: Secondary Hospital Provision of specialized services

Training facilities for cadres of health workers who function at the primary care level

Serve as an internship centre for all staff, up to medical officers

Serves as a research centre, that provides research services for issues of county importance

Level 6: Tertiary Hospital Provides highly specialized services. These include

general specialization; discipline specialization; and
