    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.
