Download or read book Improving Diagnosis in Health Care written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-12-29 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting the right diagnosis is a key aspect of health care - it provides an explanation of a patient's health problem and informs subsequent health care decisions. The diagnostic process is a complex, collaborative activity that involves clinical reasoning and information gathering to determine a patient's health problem. According to Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, diagnostic errors-inaccurate or delayed diagnoses-persist throughout all settings of care and continue to harm an unacceptable number of patients. It is likely that most people will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime, sometimes with devastating consequences. Diagnostic errors may cause harm to patients by preventing or delaying appropriate treatment, providing unnecessary or harmful treatment, or resulting in psychological or financial repercussions. The committee concluded that improving the diagnostic process is not only possible, but also represents a moral, professional, and public health imperative. Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, a continuation of the landmark Institute of Medicine reports To Err Is Human (2000) and Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001), finds that diagnosis-and, in particular, the occurrence of diagnostic errorsâ€"has been largely unappreciated in efforts to improve the quality and safety of health care. Without a dedicated focus on improving diagnosis, diagnostic errors will likely worsen as the delivery of health care and the diagnostic process continue to increase in complexity. Just as the diagnostic process is a collaborative activity, improving diagnosis will require collaboration and a widespread commitment to change among health care professionals, health care organizations, patients and their families, researchers, and policy makers. The recommendations of Improving Diagnosis in Health Care contribute to the growing momentum for change in this crucial area of health care quality and safety.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MSPs and medical staff leaders do enough vetting for practitioner applications without worrying about tracking down and validating resources that support structurally sound credentialing and privileging processes. Featuring an array of field-sourced, expert-endorsed forms that facilitate regulatory compliance, policy development, and routine credentialing communications, The Credentialing and Privileging Toolbox lightens the administrative load so MSPs and medical staff leaders have more time for duties that foster high-quality care and patient safety. Inspired by our popular OPPE and FPPE toolboxes, The Credentialing and Privileging Toolbox offers a bevy of sample forms, policies, letters, plans, reports, and related resources that healthcare organizations of various scope, size, and service focus are currently using to execute effective practitioner vetting processes. Included tools, which come from in-the-trenches MSPs and medical staff leaders, have been curated and appraised by expert author Merella Schandl. The resulting collection reflects industry best practices, the wide range of modern healthcare entities that credential and privilege practitioners, and the various aspects of a successful vetting approach. Tools are arranged by type and topic for easy navigation. Within each tool, Schandl highlights key components and provides targeted analysis on tailoring the sample to individual facility needs.
Download or read book Health Professions Education written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute of Medicine study Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) recommended that an interdisciplinary summit be held to further reform of health professions education in order to enhance quality and patient safety. Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality is the follow up to that summit, held in June 2002, where 150 participants across disciplines and occupations developed ideas about how to integrate a core set of competencies into health professions education. These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system.

Download or read book Credentialing a to Z written by Mary Long and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Credentialing A to Z is an on-the-go reference packed with easy- to-digest information, Q&As, quizzes, notes, and downloadable forms that will help MSPs gain knowledge about their tasks and the value of their work, enhance team-building, and combat burnout and stress. Author Mary Long, CPMSM, brings in-depth insights, a light touch, and a sense of humor that fellow MSPs will appreciate. This valuable reference guide addresses, defines, and explains your toughest topics in alphabetical order, including: A: Applications-where all credentialing processes start, and possibly end. APPs-are advanced practice professionals processed through the medical staff services department or human resources? B: Bylaws, policies, and rules and regulations-do you know where your medical staff information is? C: Credentialing-the right information to verify, and the correct way to do it. G: Governance-an organized medical staff requires governance in order to function. But what does that have to do with credentialing? M: Meetings-medical staff management in "minutes." P: Peer evaluations, FPPE, and OPPE-who's a peer? Who's a good peer? Privileging-the whens and hows of core privileges, disaster privileges, emergency privileges, and temporary privileges of all stripes. R: Reappointment-building and sticking to a cycle. Red flags-spotting them, stopping them, and getting answers. V: Verification-the querying process, the organizations, and the information they provide. X, Y, and Z: Xenon, yag lasers, and zero data (mastering medical terminology-no, CABG isn't "cabbage") Credentialing A to Z provides new MSPs and credentialing coordinators on-the-job spot training that will build and test their knowledge in a fun way before they're put to the test with less-fun credentialing challenges (such as surveys). All quizzes, Q&As, and other forms are downloadable and customizable, allowing MSPs to tailor them to their programs.

[Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives.
