随着卫生保健质量改进科学的进步，通过发表文献分享其成就的重要性日益增加。目前关于卫生保健改进工作的报告在内容和质量方面差别很大。正是在这种背景下，来自不同学科的一群利益相关者创建了质量改进报告卓越标准，我们将其称为SQUIRE出版指南或SQUIRE声明。SQUIRE声明包含19个项目的清单，作者在撰写描述质量改进正式研究的文章时需要考虑这些项目。清单中的大多数项目对所有科学报告都是通用的，但实际上所有项目都进行了修改，以反映医疗改进工作的独特性。此“解释和阐述”文件（E & E）是SQUIRE声明的附件。对于SQUIRE指南中的每个项目，e&e文档提供了一两个来自已发表的改进文献的示例，然后分析了示例表达指南项目意图的方式。与为其他生物医学出版指南而创建的E & E文件一样，SQUIRE E & E文件的目的是从完成质量改进项目到出版的整个过程中帮助作者。SQUIRE声明本身、本E & E文件以及有关报告改进工作的其他信息可在http://www.squire-statement.org上找到。
As the science of quality improvement in health care advances, the importance of sharing its accomplishments through the published literature increases. Current reporting of improvement work in health care varies widely in both content and quality. It is against this backdrop that a group of stakeholders from a variety of disciplines has created the Standards for QUality Improvement Reporting Excellence, which we refer to as the SQUIRE publication guidelines or SQUIRE statement. The SQUIRE statement consists of a checklist of 19 items that authors need to consider when writing articles that describe formal studies of quality improvement. Most of the items in the checklist are common to all scientific reporting, but virtually all of them have been modified to reflect the unique nature of medical improvement work. This "Explanation and Elaboration'' document (E & E) is a companion to the SQUIRE statement. For each item in the SQUIRE guidelines the E & E document provides one or two examples from the published improvement literature, followed by an analysis of the ways in which the example expresses the intent of the guideline item. As with the E & E documents created to accompany other biomedical publication guidelines, the purpose of the SQUIRE E & E document is to assist authors along the path from completion of a quality improvement project to its publication. The SQUIRE statement itself, this E & E document, and additional information about reporting improvement work can be found at http://www.squire-statement.org.
