What is Quality
What is right in Healthcare
Appropriateness • The degree to which the care/intervention is
relevant to the patient's clinical needs, consistent to the current state of knowledge.
Efficacy • The potential, capacity, or capability to produce
the desired effect or outcome, as already shown, e.g., through scientific research (evidence-based) findings
Dimensions of Quality
Two Quality Dimensions Make It The Right
Thing
How To Do It Right
Eight Quality Dimensions Must Be Achieved To Do It Right
Availability • The degree to which appropriate
care/intervention is obtainable to meet the patient's needs.
Timeliness • The degree to which needed care and
services are "provided to the patient at the most beneficial or necessary time.
Effectiveness • The degree to which care is provided in
the correct manner, given the current state of knowledge, to achieve the desired or projected outcome(s) for the individual.
Efficiency • The relationship between the outcomes
(results of care) and the resources used to deliver care
Dimensions of Quality
Safety • The degree to which the risk of an intervention ...
and risk in the care environment are reduced for a patient and other persons including health care practitioners.
Competency • The practitioner's ability to produce both the health
and satisfaction of customers. The degree to which the practitioner adheres to professional and/or organizational standards of care and practice

FRAME WORK OF QUALITY
Structure leads to
Process
leads to
Outcome
16
Structure, Process, and Outcome
Structure: is the arrangement of parts of a care system or elements that facilitate care; the care environment; evidence of the organization's ability to provide care to patients, e.g.:
• Resources
• Equipment • Numbers of staff • Qualifications/credentials of staff • Work space• ?
17
Structure, Process, and Outcome
Process: refers to the procedures, methods, means, or sequence of steps for providing or delivering care and producing outcomes. In other words, processes are activities that act on an "input" from a "supplier" to produce an "output" for a "customer" e.g.
- Clinical Processes- Care Delivery Processes
- Administrative and Management Processes
18
Structure, Process, and Outcome
Outcome: refers to the results of care, adverse or beneficial e.g.Clinical: - Short-term results of specific treatments and procedures- Complications - Adverse events - Mortality Functional: - Long-term health status - Activities of daily living (ADL) statusPerceived: - Patient/family satisfaction
19
The Concept of Outcomes Management
• The resulting data, called outcome measures, are measures of performance.
• “Outcomes Management" refers to a "technology of patient experience designed to help patients, payers, and providers make rational medical care-related choices based on better insight into the effect of these choices on the patient's life" [Ellwood, 1988].
20
Outcomes management depends on the following four developing techniques
1. Practitioner reliance on standards and guidelines in selecting appropriate interventions
2. Routine and systematic measurement of the functioning and well-being of patients, along with disease-specific clinical outcomes, at appropriate time intervals
3. Pooling of clinical and outcome data on a massive scale
4. Analysis and dissemination of results (outcomes) from the segment of the database pertinent to the concerns of each decision maker
21
The Concept of Process Variation
Variation is "change or deviation in form, condition, appearance, extent, etc., from a former or usual state, or from an assumed standard." "Variation" generally refers to the whole process or a step in the process.
Variance is "a changing or tendency to change; degree of change or difference; divergence; discrepancy." This term generally refers to specific data or information.
22
Aspects of Quality
• Measurable Quality
• Appreciative Quality
• Perceptive Quality
23
Measurable Quality
• Can be defined objectively as compliance with, or adherence to standards.
• Clinically, these standards may take the form of practice parameters or protocols, or they may establish acceptable expectations for patient and organizational outcomes.
• Standards serve as guidelines for excellence.
24
Appreciative Quality
• Is the comprehension and appraisal of excellence beyond minimal standards and criteria.
• Requires the judgments of skilled, experienced practitioners and sensitive, caring persons.
• Peer review bodies rely on the judgments of like professionals in determining the quality or non-quality of specific patient-practitioner interactions.
25
Perceptive Quality
• Is the degree of excellence which is perceived by the recipient or the observer of care rather than by the provider of care.
• Is generally based more on the degree of caring expressed by physicians, nurses, and other staff than on the physical environment and technical competence.
26
Quality Management Trilogy
• Quality Planning
• Quality Control
• Quality Improvement
27
The Quality Management Trilogy
• Quality Planning includes:
• Identifying and tracking customers, their needs and expectations.
• Designing new or redesigning systems, services, or functions based on customer needs and expectations.
• Identifying function and process issues critical to effective outcomes; and developing new processes capable of achieving the desired outcome.
• Setting quality improvement objectives based on strategic goals.
28
The Quality Management Trilogy
• Quality Control/Measurement includes:
• Developing process and outcome performance measures.
• Measuring actual performance and variance from expected.
• Summarizing data and performing initial assessment/ analysis.
• Measuring and describing process variability.
29
The Quality Management Trilogy
Quality Control/Measurement includes:cont..
• Measuring and tracking outcomes of populations.
• Performing intensive assessment as data dictates.
• Providing accurate, timely feedback.
• Using the data to manage, evaluate effectiveness, maintain Quality Improvement gains, and facilitate Quality Planning.
30
The Quality Management Trilogy
• Quality Improvement includes:
• Collaboratively studying and improving selected existing processes and outcomes in governance, management, clinical, and support activities;
• Analyzing causes of process failure, dysfunction, and/or inefficiency;
• Systematically developing optimal solutions to chronic problems;
• Analyzing data/information for better or best practice.
31
Quality Management Principles
• Leadership commitment is the Key.
• Focus on systems not on individuals.
• All decisions are based on information derived from reliable data.
• Quality is what is perceived by the customer as quality.
• Quality management is preventive and proactive not reactive or a quick fix.
32
Quality Management Principles
• Quality empowers people; it does not police them.
• The modern approach to quality is thoroughly grounded in scientific and statistical thinking.
• Total employee involvement is critical.
• Sound customer-supplier relationships are absolutely necessary for sound quality management.
Principles of Customer Service
The Concept of Customer
35
• A "customer" is one who receives services. • It is a concept utilized in Total Quality
Management philosophy to identify the needs, expectations, and preferences of all who are affected by the healthcare services we provide.
• Customers are our "dependents"; they rely on us for a service or product.

The Concept of the External Customer
37
• "External customers" include the patient,
family, and others outside the organization
receiving services from the organization.

The Concept of the Internal Customer
41
• "Internal customers" are those performing work, but dependent on others performing work, within the organization.
• An employee can be a customer when she or he receives material, information, or services from others in the organization.
• Conversely, an employee also can be a supplier, when she or he provides material, information, or services to others in the organization or to external customers.
42
Examples of Internal Customers
• Admitting/reception/front office staff
• Administrative services staff.
• Ancillary staff.• Technicians.• Care
coordination/social services staff.
