Clinical Microsystems Toolkit

2005. Trustees of Dartmouth College. ISBN: 1-59940-026-X

New from Dartmouth! Higher quality. Better safety. Lower costs. Engaged physicians. Empowered staff. The need to achieve high performance is real. But what road can you take to get there? Hospital leaders need a powerful and flexible system for improving performance that has staying power and that has been shown to work in the real world. They need a system that connects the front office to the front line to achieve best measured quality and value. This toolkit provides a clear roadmap to high performance. It introduces principles, methods, and tools that can be used to improve the performance of "Clinical Microsystems," which are the places where patients, families, and care teams meet. It features a DVD with seven engaging video segments and two practical workbooks. One workbook focuses on improvement within inpatient units and the emergency department while the second workbook concentrates on caring for acute myocardial infarction and pneumonia patients as they travel across care units. All materials are based on more than 10 years of research at Dartmouth Medical School and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
