Description:
This third edition of Fundamentals of Health Care Improvement: A Guide to Improving Your Patients' Care provides health care professional students and frontline staff with an invaluable resource as they explore systems improvements and make the critical journey to advance high reliability and quality patient care. Quality improvement methods arise out of questions, observations, analyses, research, and measurements. Interprofessional teams can develop the resulting data and implement changes to improve and sustain patient care in clinical settings. This third edition of Fundamentals of Health Care Improvement: A Guide to Improving Your Patients' Care-copublished with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement-provides multiple resources, from vignettes of improvement teams identifying and responding to systems improvement needs, to study questions for practical application, to diagrams, figures, tables, and other tools that can be used on a daily basis to identify improvement opportunities and make concrete changes. New in this edition is an emphasis on interprofessional teamwork and patient engagement, information about the value equation, updated statistics and figures, and a new Appendix filled with tools and worksheets for doing quality improvement.
