BEST PRACTICE Hospital-wide QI Effort: Enhancing HF care utilizing electronic clinical pathways
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Overview: From an initial small core of 4 people who could identify, treat, track and monitor heart failure patients for the hospital (including home assessment visits for high risk patient population) there grew a desire to utilize the hospital infrastructure to further develop pathways and protocols to better care for heart failure patients. Contributing factors included: Cost ineffectiveness of having 2 APNs conduct home assessments, especially given that the geographic distance requiring coverage limited them to 2-3 visits per day Desire for improved care and delivery in the face of frequently changing guidelines (that clinicians have a hard time staying on top of)

متن کاملCan Clinical Pathways enhance the implementation of a Casemix system? A case study in a teaching hospital in Malaysia
Introduction A Clinical Pathway (CP) is a multidisciplinary plan of care based on best clinical practice for a specified group of patients with a particular diagnosis. A CP is designed to minimize delays, optimize resource utilization, and maximize quality of care. CPs support the implementation of Casemix by reducing variations of care, increasing homogeneity of cases, improving quality of Cas...
متن کاملAcademic Nursing Center Primary Care Quality Improvement Using an Electronic Health Record and a Practice-Based Research Network
Practice-based research networks (PBRN) seek to improve healthcare through the use of research, quality improvement, and collaborative learning. When used by nontraditional models of care such as the nurse managed healthcare center (NMHC), PBRNs can be incorporated into successful quality improvement (QI) programs. UT Health Services is a NMHC utilizing a PBRN as one component of a comprehensiv...
