Quality underlies all physical therapy activities. It is the means and the purpose. At the Physical Therapy Department at AUBMC, the Quality Improvement Program enhances professional continuing education, boosts the implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) and clinical practice guidelines, and advances specialization.

Quality improvement is closely related to staff and patient’s safety meaning that risk reduction is integral to overall improvement of quality. Such risk could be found in clinical processes, as well as in the physical environment of care. It is, then, our responsibility as professionals and leaders to continuously monitor, analyze, and improve clinical and managerial guidelines and processes. It is, therefore, our responsibility to train ourselves to have quality embedded in our thinking process and behaviour.
