The Link between Quality and Survey Readiness: The Essential Building Blocks (Part 2 of 2)
|
Format: Video file (.wmv) The average hospital currently invests 30 to 45 percent of its earned revenues in quality-oriented activities with most of that investment going into activities that don’t truly impact quality improvement. In this session, originally recorded in April 2010, we discuss the essential components of a great quality program which incorporates practical implementation strategies. This session builds on Part I of this series, and introduces an approach that uses “quality calendars” to manage and monitor quality activities in a manner that makes it easy to get it right the first time. This program shares samples and examples of a quality calendars system currently used by more than 100 small rural hospitals in 10 states. It introduces principles related to the creation of more effective quality programs that reduce waste and increase control over the patient care environment.
