The implementation of clinical practice guidelines is a cornerstone of quality improvement in healthcare systems worldwide. To ensure the consistent delivery of best practices for managing long-term conditions, these guidelines must be translated into actionable and measurable clinical care standards.

The 5IQ approach provides a structured framework for transforming evidence-based guidelines into concise quality statements and key performance indicators (KPIs). By enabling real-time benchmarking through clinical registries or other digital tools, these standards empower healthcare professionals to refine care delivery and achieve measurable improvements in patient outcomes.

What sets the 5IQ approach apart is its flexibility - it can be tailored to address the unique challenges and opportunities of any therapeutic area. By focusing on critical aspects of care delivery, 5IQ ensures alignment with best practices while driving continuous improvement in quality and outcomes.

Adopting 5IQ-based clinical standards enables healthcare professionals to identify patients who have sustained or are at increased risk of sustaining a first clinical event, investigate their needs using validated tools, provide clear and accessible patient information, implement evidence-based interventions, integrate care seamlessly across all sectors of the healthcare system, and drive continuous quality improvement.
