How Do Quality Improvement Specialists Measure Success?
Success in quality improvement is typically measured through various key performance indicators (KPIs), such as:
1. Patient Outcomes: Metrics like hospital readmission rates, infection rates, and patient mortality rates. 2. Process Metrics: Indicators such as adherence to clinical guidelines, average wait times, and patient throughput. 3. Patient Satisfaction: Feedback from patient satisfaction surveys and other forms of patient engagement. 4. Cost Metrics: Financial indicators such as cost savings from reduced waste and improved efficiency.
