Abstract

Paramedicine is foremost a peer-reviewed journal committed to advancing the discipline and profession through the dissemination of high-quality, methodologically rigorous research. However, it does acknowledge the role quality management (QM) plays in shaping clinical practice, education, systems performance, and patient outcomes. While distinct from traditional research, QM, encompassing quality improvement (QI), programme evaluation (PE) and other quality-centred activities,1 has the potential to contribute valuable insights and contribute to establishing a culture
of evidence-informed practice within paramedicine.
