NURS 8302 Discussion Measurement Systems and Methods

Health care organizations strives for excellent quality services. The ability of health organizations to achieve their desire outcomes depends largely on quality indicators that are in place. I notice that falls is one of the main concern with quality indicators in rehab. Hospital push for patient satisfaction such as, pain management, nursing care and even the overall care received. This can be related to falls, wounds, or part of the chronic health problem. They are important in healthcare and are used as guidance for quality improvement.

Quality metrics are important in behavioral health. Quality metrics can be used to determine the effectiveness of the quality metrics that guide the care to a patient with depression in a rehab setting may very from those who lives in a nursing home. The hospital monitors timelessness of care, medication errors, and patient falls. for example, once you pull a pain pill from the pixies, you must give it within 30 minutes and reassess within one hour. Quality metrics facilitates change and improves the management of depression.

Dashboards are helpful when monitoring the results of improvement. And can be used for measuring current performance. Wong et al. (2020), explained that while using the data from the Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) administrative claims data base, the dashboard revealed the impact of diabetes with readmissions and financial strain if they were admitted with it.

Nash et al. (2019), “reported that instead of measurement of what providers do, patient-centered care requires measurement of providers’ focus on meeting patients’ needs.” Hospital push for patient satisfaction such as, pain management, nursing care and even the overall care received. This can be related to falls, wounds, or part of the chronic health problem. They are important in healthcare and are used as guidance for quality improvement.
