Study Notes
Systems-Based Learning and Practice Improvement in Healthcare
- ACGME Outcome Project lists 8 key abilities today’s physicians should have, including setting learning objectives, incorporating feedback, and using technology for learning and healthcare delivery.
- Quality Improvement (QI) in healthcare involves the combined efforts of everyone to make changes leading to better patient outcomes, system performance, and professional development.
- Quality Improvement is based on three core pillars: Self-Care System, Individual Caregiver & Patient System, and Macrosystem.
- Self-Care System includes the patient and resources outside the healthcare system, such as advice from family, friends, and the patient's own research.
- Individual Caregiver & Patient System involves learning how to care for patients one at a time, including history, physical exam, and procedures.
- Microsystem refers to a small group providing care to a specific patient subpopulation, while Mesosystem involves linked microsystems working together for specific problems (e.g., Cardiac Care Organization).
- Macrosystem is an integrated health system caring for a large group or community of patients, linking micro and mesosystems.
- Besides organization, culture also influences healthcare systems, including patterns of learned perception and values, affecting patient safety and public awareness.
- Systems-Based Learning & Practice Improvement focuses on outcomes, cost savings, communication, and culture.
- Steps for Improvement Process include identifying a quality gap, creating a focused aim statement, process modeling, brainstorming possible changes, identifying measures, and performing PDSA cycles.
- Quality Gap refers to the difference between what should be done and what is actually done, exemplified by the prescription of β-Blockers post AMI.
- Evaluating Strength of Evidence involves a pyramid diagram showing the quality and strength of evidence increasing from the base to peak, with a model for improvement focusing on defining the aim and measuring improvement.
