SQUIRE Checklist for Quality Improvement Studies

The SQUIRE checklist (Standards for Quality Improvement Reporting Excellence) is a reporting guideline for healthcare quality improvement studies. It explains what information authors should report when describing interventions aimed at improving healthcare systems and outcomes. The checklist covers context, rationale, intervention details, study design, and evaluation methods. Journals and reviewers use SQUIRE to assess transparency and methodological clarity in quality improvement reports. Adhering to the checklist improves reproducibility and interpretation of improvement initiatives. SQUIRE is recommended for researchers reporting healthcare quality improvement projects.
