Improving Patient Care Through Training Term Paper

This performance data will be graphed to identify general trends and specific repeat offenders for corrective action, including contacting the individual(s) responsible for minute preparation to clarify requirements and reiterate their responsibilities. If specific problem areas are identified (i.e., failure to include an agenda, lack of attendee information, etc.), in-services that target these deficient areas could be developed.

The in-service would be repeated as deemed necessary but on an annual basis at a minimum in order to maintain compliance with the 30-day submission requirement for properly prepared minutes that contained all necessary information for use in the integrated quality assurance program.References
