Ongoing monitoring

 
Select a diagnostic or procedural topic relevant to patient care that would be suitable for a quality assessment and improvement project. Prepare a two- to three-page paper in which you
• Define the purpose or focus of the assessment process. (Ask: What are we trying to accomplish?)
• Develop at least four key indicators or parameters (performance measures) for the selected topic that provide data to support the purpose or focus of the assessment process. (Ask: What will tell us that a change is an improvement?) Use resources on this topic to help decide which indicators to use. Indicators may include, but are not limited to,
o Admission criteria or suggested population
o Continued-stay review criteria
o History of illness
o Lab values
o Symptomatology or indications for the disease or procedure
o Vital signs
o Medications
o Ongoing monitoring
o Length of stay
o Type of treatment
o Complications or management of care
o Comorbidities
o Management (for example, of therapy or education)
o Discharge planning
