Moving to Value Based Care – Leveraging advanced analytics to measure physici...LexisNexis Risk Solutions
Payment reform and emphasis on value-based care is forcing payers, ACOs, and Integrated Delivery Networks to look for ways through which physician performance can be evaluated and measured over time with the goal of creating highly efficient and effective physician networks. With more pressure and risk moving to physicians – they will expect fair measurement of quality against their peers. Join this webinar to understand the implications of value-based care as it relates to physician performance analysis and why the ability to effectively monitor physicians with less than acceptable cost performance and those with high-quality performance will be non-negotiable.
Accountability for nursing practice has significant roots in the history of nursing. FlorenceNightingale, the founder of modern nursing, was one of the first to document the need for asystematic approach for reviewing the quality of nursing care. She identified the need toincorporate health data and statistics in quality assurance activities. The quality assurance forPublic Health Nursing is to provide specific standards, measurement tools and processes forimproving the quality of public health nursing practice. The extent to which the standards areimplemented is determined by those who govern the day-to- day activities of public healthprogra

NEED FOR GROUP DISCUSSION
Group discussion allows you to exchange information and ideas and gives you the experience of learning in a team. In the workplace, discussion enables management to draw on the ideas and expertise of staff, and to acknowledge the staff as valued member of a team.
For example, team nursing, and evening instances where the nurse maybe sole one engaged in nursing a patient (private duty), she is still working in a group the patient and herself.
Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

than 200 Beds regarding mortality as a
postoperative complication and compared one
hospital with another using the same criteria
and recommended the development of
standardized classification of disease and
establishes a follow up system.

6. • In 1918, the American college of surgeon to
create the hospital standardization programme
that provide the criteria and standards for
accreditation of which were later adopted by the
joint commission on accreditation of hospitals
(JCAH).
• In 1952, JCAH later changed to Joint Commission
on accreditation of health care organization
(JCAHO) published its first list of accreditation
standard with which hospitals, had to comply in
order to receive their accreditation certificate.

7. • In 1966, Dr.Avedes Donabedian, Introduced
his famous three measure of quality:
structure, process and outcome.
• He described ‘structure’ as the input to the
health care system to include both human and
physical resources ‘process’ include all
procedure and activity required to deliver care
by providers and support system ‘outcome’
included results and outputs of the care
process.

INDICATORS SHOULD BE:
• Based on agreed definition and described
exhaustively and exclusively.
• Highly or optimally specific and sensitive
• Valid and reliable.
• Evidence based
• Defined in detail, with explicit data specification
in order to be specific and sensitive.
30. QUALITY CONTROL
11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 30
• It is defined as the process by which actual
performance is measure; the performance is
compared with goals and the difference in
acted upon. The statistical methods are used
to measure the quality care.
31. QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 31
• The process or processes of reducing variance
is quality improvement. It is the process of
attaining a new level of performance or
quality that is superior to any previous level of
quality.
33. Basic Tenets of Quality Improvement
11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 33
According to JCAHO, the following are the seven
basic tenets of quality improvement:
1. Organization is commitment from the leadership
to set quality priorities, re orient the
organization to customer focus, as functions as
role models.
2. Leaders must define quality in their organization
and incorporate it into mission statement and
planning document.
3. Need and Expectations of customer both
internal and external to organization must be
explored with corresponding organization
changes to meet those needs.
34. 11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 34
4. Employees must be involved with quality
improvement, with the focus on quality driven
daily activities.
5. The focus of improved quality must be directed
towards work processes instead of individuals.
6. Quality improvement must emphasize
prevention with quality with design rather than
quality by inspection.
7. Quality improvement is based on the use of
formal problems solving method and statistical
tools, with all the processes and decisions being
data driven.
35. Tools for Quality Improvement
11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 35
• A critical component of QI process is data
analysis. According to Deming, statistical
method are essential for understanding
processes, bringing them under control and
improving them.
38. Histogram
11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 38
• It is a graph of frequency distribution of a set
of data it is useful in data analysis phase of
quality improvement. It provides a visual
summary of data and is constructed by
graphing frequencies value on the vertical axis
and categorised evenly spaced on horizontal
axis in logical order.
39. Continuous quality improvement
11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 39
• In 1980s QA was replaced by Continuous
Quality Improvement, it involves a
coordinated and integrated approach for
improving processes that affects the patient
outcome.
40. 11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 40
• Performance Management system provides the
framework within which the performance
awareness, measurement and improvement
programs can be developed. Performance
Management had replaced later CQI.
• It encompasses three critical program (a)
Awareness (b) Measurement (c) Improvement.
• The Joint Commission on accreditation of health
care organizations (JCAHO) incorporated the CQI
philosophy into health care accreditation policy
and focused on quality paradigm shift from
quality assurance to quality improvement.
41. QUALITY MANAGEMENT
11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 41
• It is defined as the “the process by which people
are mobilised to achieve quality goals”
• Quality Management is becoming integral to the
delivery of health care.Nursing is also benefited
from this approach because strategic planning
takes place into account what is needed to
deliver the service. Education of staff,
recruitment and retention of qualified staff and
similar issues becomes the defined target in
management of quality. Here changes in any
aspect of service design must be considered from
the whole.
42. TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT
(TQM)
11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 42
• In 1985, Nancy Warren, a behavioural scientist in US
Navy, first suggested ‘Total Quality Management’
thereafter number of TQM gurus have made their
significant contribution in the industrial management.
• Deming, Juran and Crosby are the main pioneers of the
area of Total Quality Management their contribution to
TQM are regarded as three paths, one journey and are
compared. In the health sector also, it is considered
more organised a coordinated and integrated approach
to manage/improve processes that affects patient
outcomes.
43. OBJECTIVES OF TQM
11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 43
According to Slee and Slee, 1991; Gillen 1988, the
objectives of TQM are as follows:
• To establish specific quality goals.
• To incorporate the improvement of quality as a
responsibility shared by all employees.
• To educate and train the employees.
• To formally recognize efforts to improve quality.
• To identify specific project that promise to improve
quality.
• To provide necessary resource both real and financial.
• To focus continually on method of improving the
quality of care.
44. According to Mclanghin and Kalizncy
1994:
11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 44
The primary objective of TQM is not only to
focus on the needs of clients, a concepts that
includes employees and patients but also to
lower costs by improving quality and
reducing waste.
45. Key principle TQM
11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 45
• The principle of TQM are focussed on work
processes, customer orientation and statistical
data analysis are as follows:
• Management Accountability
• Teamwork
• Continuous Improvements
46. Tools and Technique for TQM
11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 46
Total Quality Management is an overall approach to
management, it needs system tools and
techniques that can convert this approach into
realities. These tools are as follows:
• Creating Client Focus
• Long Range Plan
• Continuous Improvement
• Daily Process Management
• Employees Involvement
47. 11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 47
TQM is the most successful when it functions in
four gear or focuses as described by Oriikoff:
• Fixing an existing problem
• Preventing Problem
• Changing systems to address the root cause of
problems
• Managing Innovations.
48. MODELS
11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 48
AMERICAN NURSE’S ASSOCIATION (ANA) MODEL
• This model is given by long and black in 1975.
This it the first proposed and accepted model
of quality assurance, which was meant for
the nursing profession but was used by
various other professional in health care. This
is cyclic model. It helps in self determination
of patient, and family, nursing health
orientation, patient’s rights to quality care
and nursing contributions
50. 11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 50
DONABEDIAN MODEL
• Donabedian Model framework is recognised
as the method of measuring quality as
structure process and outcome in the mid of
1960s.
52. 11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 52
WILSON’S MODEL
• Wilson (1987) in the late 1980s tried to
operationalise Donabedian into a tangible and
practical form. He redefined input as people,
equipment and environment i.e. the resource
needs to attain a defined level of care
‘methods’ or procedures becomes the
everyday practice that is required. ‘Outcome’
are the target of care or services as measured
by productivity, quality and client satisfaction.
53. 11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 53
QUALITY MANAGEMENT MODEL
• This model was given by OBRA (Ommibus
Budget Reconciliation Act 1987).
• This model is based on two fundamental
ideas about cause and effect in long term
care;
• (a) the higher the quality of care received by
patients, the higher his or her level of
functioning (b) the higher the level of quality
of life experienced by the patient, the higher
his or her level of experiences.
54. FOCUS -PDCA MODEL (Quality
Management Model)
11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 54
Find, organize, clarify, understand, select,
plan, Do, Check, Act’ Model was devised in
1930, has the following concepts:
• Find a process to improve
• Organize a team that knows the process
• Clarify current knowledge of process
• Understand causes of variation.
55. 11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 55
PDCA (Plan Do Check Act)
• A four step problem solving process. It is
used in quality control, it is also known as
Shewart Cycle, Deming Cycle, Deming Wheel,
or Plan do study Act.
• Dr. W. Edwards Demings, later modified PDCA
Plan, Do, Study and Act (PDSA), so as to
better describe his recommendation in six-
sigma. PDSA cycle is called ‘define, measure,
analyse, improve and control’ (DMAIC).
57. 11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 57
JOINT COMMISSION 10-STEP PROCESS MODEL
• This Model includes 10 steps for quality
assessment/assurance/ and quality
management. These steps provide a
systematic methodology for quality
management. This model is used for
monitoring and evaluation of services.

88. METHODOLOGIES
11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 88
DMAIC:
• It defines opportunity, measure performance,
analyse opportunity, improve performance,
control performance is a rigorous data driven
quality problem solving approach. It is an
improvement system for existing services
falling below specifications/standards and
looking for incremental improvement. It
consist of the following five steps:
• Define-Measure-Analyse-Improve-Control
90. 11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 90
• DMADV:
• Process (define, measure, analyse, design,
verify) is an improvement system, used to
develop new processes or services/product at
six sigma level.
• Define-Measure-Analyse-Design-Verify
91. 11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 91
• The Six Sigma Model:
• It has been developed by Beth Lanham and
Pamela Manson Cooper in 2003, is based on
steps of DMAIC. This model has a great
practibility into the health care setting due to
practical approach to standardizing process
and use of its statistical method. It focuses on
process/service improvement efforts to
reduce the chance of errors occurring to 3.4
errors per million.
93. 11/28/2018 Nurse's role in quality insurance 93
Steps involved in implementing six sigma in a hospital
• Identification of the customer expectations
• Identification of various processes involved in the
system
• Develop a quality function deployment for a hospital
• Identification of processes critical to quality (CTQ)
• Develop project definition along with the time frame
and expected outcome as per the customer
expectation
• Follow DMAIC process of the project
• Complete the project, record findings and explicit
benefits
• Choose another project.
