Your Engines! Are we there yet? Almost. This
month's newsletter will take you on the next leg of the
journey -- PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT (PI).
Ask yourself :
Do you pay attention to continuous quality
improvement?
Do you have an organized, comprehensive approach to
Performance Improvement?
Are you trending and comparing data to evaluate
processes and outcomes?
Performance improvement standards and performance
measurement activities focus a staffing firm on
continuously improving on key issues of safety and
quality. In this issue, we'll help you understand
how performance improvement activities should help to
identify and evaluate changes that you must
make to enhance performance.
Certification preparedness is just around the
bend, and Performance Improvement is what keeps
your organization running smoothly.
Enjoy
the journey!
*JCAHO has changed their name to
The Joint Commission
(TJC). | |
Look Under the Hood.
When we look under the hood of PI
what should we find?
Well designed and planned
activities?
Input from customers?
Relevant data collection?
Data collected analyzed?
Performance improved and sustained?
Yes to all of the above. To keep the PI
engine running smoothly, PI should be a continuous
process measuring processes, services, and outcomes of
the care rendered.

| PIT STOP -
Magnetic HealthCare Strategies (MHS)
Why PI? When you have a strong
performance improvement program in place you are
literally saying to your customers that your agency is
continuously monitoring and improving processes and
procedures, not just supplying health care
professionals.
If you do
not have a comprehensive program in place, MHS has
the know-how and tools, including templates, to assist
you. We can develop:
1.
A Performance Improvement action plan
2.
Data analysis tools to evaluate process and
outcomes
3.
Interpretation and presentations of data
analysis
4.
Supporting materials related to PI
5.
Data and statistical charts
6.
Client satisfaction tools
7.
A plan for teaching staff performance improvement
protocols
The certification
process does not have to be a bumpy ride. Call us; we
can be as diverse as you want us to be in setting up
your PI
program.
