Study Notes

Health Surveillance and Safety in Hospitals: Focusing on Healthcare Quality

Health surveillance and safety in hospitals are crucial for ensuring the well-being of patients and staff. Healthcare quality is a significant aspect of this, as it encompasses the effectiveness, safety, and responsiveness of the care provided. In this article, we will delve into the various aspects of healthcare quality and how it is measured and improved in hospitals.

Defining Healthcare Quality

The federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) defines quality as "doing the right thing at the right time for the right person and having the best possible result." The World Health Organization (WHO) defines patient safety as "the prevention of errors and adverse effects to patients associated with health care."

Components of Healthcare Quality

Cooper University Health Care takes a comprehensive approach to evaluating the quality and safety of each patient’s experience. The components of their patient care delivery model include:

Adherence to evidence-based practices: Providing evidence-based care results in better patient outcomes and lower costs of care for consumers.
Timely and effective access to care: Ensuring that patients can access care when they need it and that the care is effective.
Safe patient care: Following hospital patient safety indicators to ensure patient safety.
Clinical outcomes: Comparing outcomes to other leading health care organizations and national benchmarks to identify and utilize best practices.
Coordination and management of chronic conditions: Managing chronic conditions and care transitions effectively.

Measuring Healthcare Quality

Cooper University Health Care evaluates the quality of care by measuring whether it is effective, timely, safe, and responsive to patient preferences and needs. They utilize the "Quadruple Aim" approach developed by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), which includes enhancing the patient experience, improving population health, reducing costs, and improving provider work life.

Enhancing the Patient Experience

Improving the patient experience includes:

Communication with doctors and nurses: Ensuring clear and effective communication between patients and healthcare providers.
Responsiveness to pain management: Ensuring that patients’ pain is adequately managed and addressed.
Providing a clean and safe hospital environment: Ensuring that the hospital environment is clean and free from hazards.
Clear and understandable discharge information: Providing patients with clear and understandable information about their care and discharge.

Improving Population Health

Improving population health involves:

Implementing evidence-based practice and core measure compliance: Adhering to evidence-based practices and ensuring compliance with core measures.
Reduction in hospital readmissions: Decreasing the number of readmissions to reduce costs and improve patient outcomes.
Reduction in mortality rates: Lowering rates of mortality to improve patient outcomes.
Reduction in hospital-acquired conditions: Decreasing the occurrence of hospital-acquired conditions to improve patient safety.
Reduction in errors related to complications: Lowering the number of errors related to complications to improve patient safety.

Reducing Costs

Reducing costs includes:

Reduction in readmission expenses: Decreasing the costs associated with readmissions.
Reduction in spending for workers’ compensation claims: Lowering the costs of workers’ compensation claims to improve efficiency.
Reduced employee injuries: Decreasing the number of employee injuries to improve safety and efficiency.
Reduced medical error litigation: Lowering the number of medical error lawsuits to reduce costs and improve patient safety.

Improving Provider Work Life

Improving provider work life involves:

Preventing and identifying provider/staff burnout: Ensuring that providers and staff are not experiencing burnout, which can lead to decreased effectiveness and safety.
Implementation of team documentation into electronic health records: Implementing team documentation to improve staff satisfaction, improve revenues, and increase the capacity to manage a larger volume of patients.
Standardizing workflows: Improving employee satisfaction by standardizing workflows and reducing the burden of administrative tasks.

Conclusion

Health surveillance and safety in hospitals encompass various aspects, including healthcare quality. Healthcare quality is measured by effectiveness, timeliness, safety, and responsiveness to patient preferences and needs. Hospitals like Cooper University Health Care take a comprehensive approach to evaluate and improve the quality and safety of patient care, focusing on adherence to evidence-based practices, access to care, patient safety, clinical outcomes, coordination of care, and provider work life.
