Chart Audits

Eight spiritual care practitioners at an acute care teaching hospital undertook a systematic chart audit of their documentation practices in the patient electronic health record. The purpose was to evaluate their practices using the standards of their professional association and regulatory college. A preliminary “mock audit” was essential for the overall success of the audit. Plans for ongoing chart audits will lead to continuous quality improvement. A limitation was that their manager acted as both improvement coach and performance evaluator.

Before And After

The following paper describes the development and evaluation of a Continuous Quality Improvement Model (CQIM) applied to the coding process of a public metropolitan teaching hospital. The evaluation was carried out by measuring changes to the accuracy, timeliness and quantity of the outputs of the coding process before and after the CQIM was implemented. For all three indicators of quality and productivity, improvements were observed after the CQIM was implemented. Continuous Quality Improvement methods are one strategy which health information managers can use to improve the quality of the coding process to support the provision of accurate coded data in a timely manner.

BACKGROUND: Supporting employment consultants in their work with job seekers is critical for increasing the employment outcomes of people with disabilities. OBJECTIVE: To better understand how to leverage data for supporting employment consultants, including what metrics to track, what to do with the data, and what can be improved. METHODS: A panel of three directors of employment programs addressed these questions as part of the Association of People Supporting Employment First (APSE) 2020 conference. RESULTS: Most employment service providers collect data for billing and compliance reporting. Innovative providers leverage data for quality improvement. CONCLUSIONS: Tracking metrics designed specifically for monitoring the implementation of effective employment supports is key for leveraging data for continuous quality improvement and thus improving job seekers’ employment outcomes.

Collaborative Efforts

Healthcare organizations engage in continuous quality improvement to improve performance and value-for-performance, but the pathway to change is often rooted in challenging the way things are “normally” done. In an effort to propel system-wide change to support healthy eating, Nova Scotia Health developed and implemented a healthy eating policy as a benchmark to create a food environment supportive of health. This article describes the healthy eating policy and its role as a benchmark in the quality improvement process. The policy, rooted in health promotion, sets a standard for healthy eating and applies to stakeholders both inside and outside of health. We explain how the policy offers nutrition but also cultural benchmarks around healthy eating, bringing practitioners throughout Nova Scotia Health together and sustaining collaborative efforts to improve upon the status quo.
