质量 & 安全

“质量”的概念在医疗保健领域并不新鲜, 但这是至关重要的,也是我们每天都在努力实现的目标. 监管机构和项目,如 医疗补助和医疗保险服务中心医疗保险星级评级华盛顿州卫生部联合委员会(TJC) and others have monitored and surveyed healthcare quality activities with the goal of continually improving the reliability and safety of care provided.

在过去十年中, focus on quality has been sharpened by the call to accountability through TJC's Agenda for Change, 医学研究所关于医疗事故的报告, 国家质量论坛认可的安全做法, 医疗保健购买者对价值的需求, 以及我们所服务的公众对我们的理解日益加深. Performance measures for healthcare have also expanded to include outcome measures such as patient satisfaction and cost as well as key clinical measures.

It is no surprise that the public's demand for quality in healthcare services (that which is safe, 有效的, 以病人为中心, 及时的, 非常高效。, 和公平)匹配我们的 使命、愿景和价值观. 在十大正规网赌软件, 我们正在努力提高临床水平, 通过收集服务和财务结果, trending and responding to performance measures and implementing/refining evidence-based practices. 项目包括:

  • TJC Core Measures (acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, pneumonia and pregnancy indicators)
  • Washington statewide initiatives (Clinical Outcomes Assessment Program for PCI [percutaneous coronary interventions], 糖尿病协作)
  • 跨越式行动(国家患者安全目标), 重症监护病房的特护医师, preoperative prophylactic antibiotic administration and beta-blocker prophylaxis for at-risk 病人, 深静脉血栓(DVT)预防
  • 患者护理服务绩效改进(PCS PI)举措(患者安全), 药物管理, 疼痛管理, 和出院计划)
  • 患者满意度调查
  • 员工和供应商参与调查
