A methodology to improve quality and accessibility of services with greater involvement of the community in
defining,
implementing and
monitoring
the quality improvement process.

There is an actual partnership between users and nonusers of the community AND health care providers.
This collaboration promotes improved communication and empowerment for problem solving using locally available resources
How is it different from other quality improvement methods?

FGDs to explore perceptions of quality from service providers, those that use health services, and those that never or no longer use them (FGD for each subgroup)
Use market analogy to help define health “quality”

Despite having a “quality” facility, community members were not utilizing services

Why PDQ for Nepal?
Centralized QI effort based on national standards had not reached peripheral facilities
Low utilization rates even after 6 years of health service strengthening
Need to reach the minority groups and other non-users of the Health Facilities
Despite training and QI efforts, improvements were not sustained at the local health posts
Why PDQ for Nepal?

PDQ: Challenges
Time commitment from the participants
Maintaining political will
Gaining true community representation and participation at all levels
Keeping the process flexible to meet local needs
Replication and scaling up
Challenges

PDQ: Lessons Learned
Does not require huge investment of additional resources when built into existing system improvement efforts
PDQ can be a catalyst for other initiatives
Dialogue often yields solutions – e.g. allows misconceptions to be clarified
Skilled and impartial facilitators are essential
Lessons Learned

Differences in PDQ-Y manual
Socio dramas and mapping instead of FGDs PRA and Games Stronger M and E components More country level examples Youth-Adult Partnership skill-building
sessions included
How is PDQ-Y Different?

Next Steps for SC
Seeking funds for case-control studies to measure impact of PDQ and PDQ for youth
Measure community capacity with CC indicators now in M and E toolkit
Improve and populate documentation database
Build regional PDQ expertise
Next Steps for SC
![Page 33: Partnership Defined Quality: an Overview](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070418/568159a6550346895dc704f2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Ideas for discussion: PC can link with existing SC PDQ
implementation efforts; and consider new ones
PCVs can co-facilitate PDQ process, especially by monitoring QIT meetings, train QIT for improved function, and completion of action plans
PCVs can document, evaluate and disseminate
How can PC and SC work together on PDQ and PDQ (Y)?
