Continuous Improvement Plan:
Measuring Outcomes:
After we put in complete Electronic Health Records and completed a primary technical post-implementation assessment, our organization will shift its center of attention to assessing clinical methods and outcomes. An Electronic Health Record supplies new ways to keep track of and assess consumer data. This data is the key to improving healthcare quality.
Clinical processing as well as measuring outcomes can be exhausted by an organization for both internal and external quality improvement. The four steps that our business will use to measure outcomes are: 1. Finding areas that need improving, 2. Choosing the correct measures to examine the areas that need improving, 3. Finding a medium of present practices exhausting the decided measures, and 4. Reexamining the effects of our efforts on improving performance. Coming up with baseline quality measures can aid an organization in understanding what areas need to be improved, prioritize certain areas, and create a basis for comparison. Repeatedly measuring performance can aid an organization in determining if quality improvements that have been put to work are successful or not. Quality measures may also be used for external quality improvement programs, for example, quality improvement organizations that collect information and give feedback about performance.
Identify Service Problems: In order for our practice to identify service problems, we will mail out surveys to each of our patients’ parents. These surveys will tell us how we are doing, and what our patients feel that we need to improve on. It will give us a chance to see what the children we serve thinks of us as well.
Eliminating Gaps in Performance:
This will fall back on our surveys sent out to the parents of the children we serve. They can tell us what we need to work on, and help us to understand which places need more service, etc.
