Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) has been shown to be a highly effective approach for the evaluation and management of hospitals in developed countries, but it has barely begun to be utilised in less developed countries. This article defines the principles and the main tools of CQI and then applies them to the postemergency phase of a displaed persons camp situation, specifically towards improving the utilisation and the quality of care in an out patient department.Metrics
