SQuIRE 2.0

The Standards for Quality Improvement Reporting Excellence (SQuIRE) guidelines are the international writing guidelines for quality improvement publications. The guidelines provide a framework for reporting new knowledge about how to improve healthcare. They are intended for reports that describe system level work to improve the quality, safety, and value of healthcare, using a range of methods to establish the association between observed outcomes and intervention(s). Following the publication the inaugural SQuIRE guidelines (SQuIRE 1.0) in 2008, the guidelines were revised and published in 2015 as SQuIRE 2.0. These guidelines aim to reflect the dynamic nature and the wide variety of approaches used in healthcare improvement efforts.
