Abstract

We look at the role of data in improving the quality of care for children and young people: how they can help to identify a problem; guide design of solutions; and evaluate changes in practice. We introduce some principles for measurement in the field of quality improvement, and discuss how to use and present data to maximise their value and impact in quality improvement initiatives.
