Quality indicators and the importance to the patients.
The prevention quality indicator (PQI) represents an area-level indicator responsible for calculating patients' admission that could have been prevented through the provisions of outpatient services that are high quality. The outpatient access is done through the discharge information assessment to determine cases that could be prevented throughout patient care, preventing the patient's admission (Tseng, Soroka, & Pogach, 2018). The program requires determining cases of complications that can be preventable that can be prevented through the patient assessment making it the best tool in the community assessment procedures. The program's main aim is to identify possible health care problems in the quality of the services offered, thus creating a change for further investigation. The program is also effective in providing out-patient services to the community, thus helping the health care sector determine needs in the patient that are unmet in the community.
Patient safety indicators help provide information on the safety events that can be avoided, thus providing opportunities in health care where improvement can be made in delivering the service. In this quality indicator, the main focus is on the in-hospital complication in the hospital event during the delivery of the services, thus promoting the health care system during the treatment. In this way, the patient complications are prevented during treatment like surgery and after treatment complication when the patient is still in the hospital. The cases presented in this case can include complications on applying anesthesia to a patient before surgery. In this, the hospital can identify areas that need correction and modification and further study in the health care service provision, thus improving the quality of services offered to the patients.
The nursing field's current leadership aims to improve the services offered to the patient through the collaboration of the partners, physician in the health care sector, and other professionals in the sector. The corporation's aim between the health caregivers and stakeholders in the sector is to redesign the provision of the services to ensure that the services to the patient are of high quality (Hallock, 2019). In doing so, the leaders need to have the vision in the transformed health care; similarly, the provision of leadership skills and competencies to the nurses to help them work with other professionals to redesign the health care system is needed. In doing so, the nurses are continuing to develop evidence-based measures to improve through policies, thus ensuring the transformation of the health care system. The nurses should be engaged in making decisions on the health care system as they offer the information on the ground, thus making the transformation effects,
Quality improvement is responsible for developing the health care unit to ensure that they deliver quality services to the patients, identifying areas that need to be studied and researched for improvement. In the same way for the patients and their families, the system provides them with the aspect of safety as the system is organized to avoid harm to the patient, through the embracement of the safety in the system, quality to the services, and transparency in the system as the culture (English, et al. 2021). This is essential in enhancing the system's effectiveness as the organisation fights to reduce the chances of error in the system, thus reducing the complication to the patients during treatment. The changes make the treatment patient-centered, making service delivery to be in the interest of the patient in respectful and value-based care. QI effectively identifies the problems in the system before they occur, thus reducing cases of complication and making it efficient in service delivery.
