Download or read book Medical Audit written by Prakash Anjan and published by JP Medical Ltd. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality of medical care denotes the degree of excellence of the care delivered. Evaluation of quality of care involves two basic concepts, firstly the quality of technical care, i.e. adequacy of structure and procedure including diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and secondly the quality of the art of care, relating to the manner in which the care is provided and perceived by the consumers. Quality of medical care can be assessed to a large extent by the analysis of medical records and this is what is meant by Medical Audit. Medical Audit is a very important regulatory mechanism which aims to raise the quality of medical care through an in-built system of peer review of professional work of the hospital by an in house committee of the medical staff. Medical Audit also helps in streamlining the procedures related to the provision of medical care by pinpointing the bottlenecks in diagnostic, therapeutic and other supportive services of the hospital. In brief, medical audit is beneficial for the patient, the medical staff and the hospital administration. In this book, an attempt has been made to provide comprehensive information about the complex issue of medical audit which would be educational for the medical staff and beneficial for the patients. It is sincerely hoped that medical audit will not only be useful but will prove to be a milestone in improving the quality of medical care services, provided, it is implemented in its true spirit.

Download or read book Safer Healthcare written by Charles Vincent and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-13 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of this book set out a system of safety strategies and interventions for managing patient safety on a day-to-day basis and improving safety over the long term. These strategies are applicable at all levels of the healthcare system from the frontline to the regulation and governance of the system. There have been many advances in patient safety, but we now need a new and broader vision that encompasses care throughout the patient’s journey. The authors argue that we need to see safety through the patient’s eyes, to consider how safety is managed in different contexts and to develop a wider strategic and practical vision in which patient safety is recast as the management of risk over time. Most safety improvement strategies aim to improve reliability and move closer toward optimal care. However, healthcare will always be under pressure and we also require ways of managing safety when conditions are difficult. We need to make more use of strategies concerned with detecting, controlling, managing and responding to risk. Strategies for managing safety in highly standardised and controlled environments are necessarily different from those in which clinicians constantly have to adapt and respond to changing circumstances.
