Book Description
"Nurses play a vital role in improving the safety and quality of patient car -- not only in the hospital or ambulatory treatment facility, but also of community-based care and the care performed by family members. Nurses need know what proven techniques and interventions they can use to enhance patient outcomes. To address this need, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), with additional funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, has prepared this comprehensive, 1,400-page, handbook for nurses on patient safety and quality -- Patient Safety and Quality: An Evidence-Based Handbook for Nurses. (AHRQ Publication No. 08-0043)." - online AHRQ blurb, http://www.ahrq.gov/qual/nurseshdbk/
Continuous Quality Improvement - Advancing Understanding of Design, Application, Impact and Evaluation of CQI Approaches

Pages : 102
Book Description
Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) methods are increasingly widely used to bridge the gaps between the evidence base for best clinical practice, what actually happens in practice, and the achievement of better population health outcomes. Among a range of quality improvement strategies, CQI methods are characterised by iterative and ongoing use of specific processes to identify quality problems, develop solutions, and implement and evaluate changes. The application of CQI processes in health is evolving and evidence of their success continues to emerge. There is, however, a need to enhance understanding of how best to implement, scale-up and evaluate CQI programs for the purpose of improving quality of care and population health outcomes in different contexts. This research topic aims to attract articles that add to knowledge of useful approaches to tailoring CQI methods for different contexts or purposes, and for implementation, scale-up and evaluation of CQI interventions/programs.

Book Description
Health care in the United States as well as other international health care facilities have undergone or are undergoing major reform in the delivery and practice of patient care. Health care facilities are being closely scrutinized and reimbursements are now tied to the quality of services provided Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. (2013, April 10). Value based purchasing or value placed on quality of care provided has now become modus operandi for hospitals being compensated. Hospitals and health care providers have delivered patient care reflective upon the ethics and principles that have guided practice over the years. Concerned with the financial impact the quality of care delivered may have on future performance, health care providers are seeking avenues that will impact the best quality of care and perception of health care delivered to patients. One of the largest impacts on patient satisfaction lies with the interaction and care delivered by nurses. The high nurse patient/ ratio invariably affects the time the nurse has to spend in this care delivery which can have a negative impact on patients' safety and their perception of care. This research focuses on the impact the nurse/ patient ratio has on patient satisfaction and outcomes, the nurse satisfaction in the work environment and the effect this all has on the patient survey scores. Patient survey scores, also known as hospital consumer assessment of hehealth careroviders (HCAHPS) are now being used as one of the tools tied to reimbursements of health care facilities by the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services and other organizations responsible for financial compensations in other countries. An analysis of available research on the current nurse/patient staffing ratio being used in most hospitals identifies three areas that should be of concern to hospital administrators and senior leaders: poor patient outcomes, lower patient and nurse satisfaction and lower scores on national patient surveys.
