1. To identify and evaluate Quality Improvement (QI) strategies employed by private health facilities to enhance care quality.
2. To analyse the processes and critical factors influencing the institutionalisation of QI initiatives as a cultural norm within private health facilities, including challenges and strategies for their mitigation.
3. To assess the return on investment (ROI) of QI initiatives, focusing on their impact on care quality and operational efficiency in private health facilities.
4. To explore patients' perceptions and experiences regarding the quality of health services delivered by private health facilities.
5. To develop strategic recommendations for the institutionalisation of Quality Improvement (QI) initiatives within healthcare systems and to enhance care quality in the private health sector, informed by expert review and validation.
