IHI- 15th Annual International Summit-2014- Implementing Integrated Clinical ...scherala
This document outlines an initiative in Massachusetts to implement the chronic care model (CCM) in primary care practices through care management and coordination. It shares the approach, which included monthly webinars and practice facilitation to support CCM implementation based on domains like infrastructure, care manager role, and risk stratification. The initiative monitored progress using two clinical quality measures: the percentage of hospitalized patients who received follow-up and the percentage of high-risk patients with care plans. After 27 months, participating practices significantly improved developing care plans for their highest-risk patients. Lessons learned include the importance of infrastructure, defining team roles and responsibilities, and using risk stratification to identify the population for care management.
Quality assurance in nursing involves identifying standards of excellence, evaluating care against those standards, and taking action to correct deficiencies. It aims to introduce codes of ethics, strengthen documentation, provide optimal resource utilization, and increase professionalism. Some key components of quality assurance are defining, promoting, monitoring and taking action. General approaches include credentialing, licensure, accreditation and certification. Specific approaches are nursing audits and standards. Common models are the system model and American quality assurance model.
This document discusses nursing audit, which refers to assessing the quality of clinical nursing care. Nursing audit involves retrospectively reviewing patient records after discharge to evaluate whether good nursing practices were followed. It can also involve concurrently evaluating patient care at the bedside. Nursing audit is meant to define standards from the nurses' point of view and describe actual nursing practice. It encourages quality control and helps design education programs. The document outlines different audit methods and their benefits and limitations.
This document discusses continuous quality improvements in hospital management. It covers three main topics: continuous quality improvement and patient safety/satisfaction, improving quality through nursing, and improving quality by risk management. The key points are that continuous quality improvement aims to consistently assess and improve service delivery. Improving nursing quality focuses on staffing levels, education, and giving nurses more autonomy over their work. Risk management identifies risks and develops strategies like risk avoidance, reduction, retention, and transfer to prevent risks and improve quality of care.
This document discusses quality control in nursing. It covers three main paths to quality control: education, practice, and technology. Regarding education, it discusses the roles of nurse educators and how advancing education benefits both nurses and communities. For practice, it discusses nurse-managed centers and how they can lead to superior patient outcomes. It also discusses the roles and qualifications of case managers. Finally, it discusses how technology can advance the future of nursing, using continuous glucose monitoring as an example. The conclusion reiterates that nurses at all levels, including bedside nurses, case managers, nurse practitioners, and educators, are involved in quality control efforts.

Quality assurance in healthcare aims to ensure high quality patient care by evaluating performance against written standards. It involves setting standards, appraising actual performance, planning improvements when standards are not met, and taking action. Quality assurance uses various approaches like credentialing, licensure, accreditation and certification to evaluate individuals and agencies. The process involves setting standards, appraising achievement, planning improvements when gaps are found, and taking action when quality is below standards. Nursing audits are also used to evaluate patient care quality by analyzing written nursing records.
A needs assessment of 498 nurses found that over half had never attended preceptor training. Nurses reported difficulties with inconsistent orientation experiences and knowing when an orientee was struggling. In response, a hospital developed a new multi-pronged preceptor education program including online modules, workshops, department-specific classes, articles, and simulations. Participation increased significantly after making the program mandatory for a pay increase. A Preceptor Committee was also formed to support preceptors and standardize practices.

Standards help provide guidelines for performance, evaluate care quality, and improve documentation. Adherence to standards like the Indian Public Health Standards helps strengthen primary care services.
The document discusses various approaches to quality improvement in healthcare, including Six Sigma, Total Quality Management (TQM), and the FADE model. Six Sigma uses statistical methods and aims for near-zero defect rates. TQM takes a customer-focused approach to continuous process improvement through methods like scientific problem-solving and participation at all levels. The FADE model outlines five steps for quality improvement projects: focus, analyze, develop, execute, and evaluate. Microsystems thinking views individual care units as the building blocks for organizational outcomes.
1) Quality assurance in nursing aims to ensure effective and safe patient care through setting standards, monitoring performance, and improving care.
2) It involves defining quality, establishing a quality assurance cycle to identify issues and implement changes, and using techniques like audits and appraisals.
3) Ensuring quality faces challenges from issues like nursing shortages, evolving health needs, and expanding medical knowledge that require continuous adaptation.
This document discusses quality assurance and continuous quality improvement in healthcare. It defines quality assurance and continuous quality improvement, and outlines the differences between the two approaches.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse.
