Background and PurposeThe current state of health care demands higher-value care. Due to many barriers, clinicians routinely do not implement evidence-based care even though it is known to improve quality and reduce cost of care. The purpose of this case report is to describe a theory-based, multitactic implementation of a quality improvement process aimed to deliver higher-value physical therapy for patients with low back pain.Case DescriptionPatients were treated from January 2010 through December 2014 in 1 of 32 outpatient physical therapy clinics within an academic health care system. Data were examined from 47,755 patients (mean age=50.3 years) entering outpatient physical therapy for management of nonspecific low back pain, with or without radicular pain. Development and implementation tactics were constructed from adult learning and change management theory to enhance adherence to best practice care among 130 physical therapists. A quality improvement team implemented 4 tactics: establish care delivery expectations, facilitate peer-led clinical and operational teams, foster a learning environment focused on meeting a population's needs, and continuously collect and analyze outcomes data. Physical therapy utilization and change in functional disability were measured to assess relative cost and quality of care. Secondarily, charge data assessed change in physical therapists' application of evidence-based care.OutcomesImplementation of a quality improvement process was measured by year-over-year improved clinical outcomes, decreased utilization, and increased adherence to evidence-based physical therapy, which was associated with higher-value care.DiscussionWhen adult learning and change management theory are combined in quality improvement efforts, common barriers to implementing evidence-based care can be overcome, creating an environment supportive of delivering higher-value physical therapy for patients with low back pain.

<p>The purpose of this research is to understand and describe in detail and depth about 1) Planning of standard quality improvement process based on school-based management at State Junior High School 3 Singkawang (SMPN 3 Singkawang); 2) Organizing the improvement of process standard quality based on school-based management in SMP N 3 Singkawang; 3) Implementation of standard quality improvement process based on school-based management in SMP N 3 Singkawang; 4) Supervision of standard quality improvement process based on school-based management at SMP N 3 Singkawang; 5) obstacles and efforts in improving the quality of process standards based on School-based<br />management in SMPN 3 Singkawang. The approach used in this research is qualitative research using case study method. then the results obtained in this study as follows 1) Planning standard quality improvement process based on the<br />school-based management SMPN 3 Singkawang in good categorize; 2) Organizing the improvement of process standard quality based on school-based management of SMPN 3 Singkawang is categorized well; 3) Implementation of standard quality improvement process based on school-based management of SMPN 3 Singkawang is categorized quite well; 4) Supervision of standard quality improvement process based on school-based management of SMPN 3 Singkawang is categorized quite well; 5) Obstacles in improving the quality of process standards based on the school-based management of SMPN 3 Singkawang is the condition of facilities still not meet the standards, especially the land or building, the physical condition of teachers caused by the age factor but the quality improvement of educators developed through certification of educators and other activities that support the learning process as well as the establishment of harmonious relationships between schools, parents and alumni.</p>

AbstractIn patients with β-lactam allergies, administration of non–β-lactam surgical prophylaxis is associated with increased risk of infection. Although many patients self-report β-lactam allergies, most are unconfirmed or mislabeled. A quality improvement process, utilizing a structured β-lactam allergy tool, was implemented to improve the utilization of preferred β-lactam surgical prophylaxis.
