Book excerpt: Abstract Background: Although national guidelines exist for the diagnosis and management of asthma, general practice differs significantly from recommendations. Quality improvement methodology when implemented can narrow quality gaps. Objective: The objective of the project was to create and implement a plan of action to address identified gaps in key clinical activities of asthma care among pediatric population in a private pediatric setting in Northern California Methods: The project was centered on the use of Education in Quality Improvement for Pediatric Practice (EQIPP), a program of the American Academy of the Pediatrics. Both the pediatrician and the DNP student took this course and employed its methods to improve asthma management. EQIPP supports providers in improving their practice with didactic materials that help participants develop quality improvement project and tools to evaluate the outcomes of that project. Results: Based on the asthmatic patient data analysis the quality improvement team identified that the clinic lacks compliance in the following areas of national guidelines. a) Diagnosis of asthma, b) Asthma action plan and c) Asthma control and follow up. The team then developed and implemented an improvement plan based on EQIPP. Conclusion: The quality improvement project enriched the pediatric practice management of asthma patients and similar projects could be implemented in other settings too. Keywords: Asthma, EQIPP, guidelines, pediatric practice, diagnosis, asthma action plan, control

Download or read book Process Change for the Treatment of Asthma in the Pediatric Emergency Department written by Kathy Karlberg and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children presenting to Emergency Departments with difficulty breathing related to asthma should be assessed and treated quickly to prevent deterioration of their condition. The purpose of this Direct Practice Improvement project is to determine if the initiation of a standardized asthma scoring tool to identify the need for a nebulized short acting B2 agonist (SABA) treatment, will decrease the time a patient with an asthma exacerbation arrives in the ED, to treatment time. Because no standardized system exists in the Pediatric ED to assess and categorize symptoms of asthma such as wheezing, retractions, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation and level of dyspnea, care is fragmented and inconsistent. Approaching care using Betty Neumann's health care systems model to reduce stress of the parent and child can be helpful in situations of those suffering breathing difficulties. Nursing staff were educated on a specific asthma severity scoring tool for assessing children with breathing difficulties to allow consistency and judicious treatments. This quantitative project measured time to treatment pre and post process improvement with children ages 2-17 presenting with difficulty breathing due to asthma. Data analysis using a bar chart showed an increase in the goal of 20 minutes to nebulizer post process implementation by 33%. A Ï72 test using age categories was executed that showed children ages 2-10 experienced longer time to nebulizer as compared to ages 10-17. Finally, a two-tailed t test performed showed a decrease to nebulizer mean time by 24.92 minutes post process execution as well as a p-value of 0.0043. The data analysis shows a significance in improvement of time to nebulized albuterol treatment overall with the process change therefore this asthma severity scoring tool is now a part of the respiratory assessment in the new EHR. Going forward, monthly chart audits are performed accessing time to nebulizer and ongoing education as needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One-liner: A set of policy recommendations to promote the development and maintenance of communities in which children with asthma can be swiftly diagnosed, effectively treated, and protected from exposure to harmful environmental factors. An estimated 5 million U.S. children have asthma. Too many of these children are unnecessarily impaired. Much of the money spent on asthma is for high-cost health care services to treat acute periods of illness. Many asthma attacks could be avoided--and much suffering prevented and many medical costs saved--if more children received good-quality, ongoing asthma care and if the 11 policy recommendations presented in this report were implemented in a oordinated fashion. A national call to action, the policy recommendations span public and private interests and compel integration of public health activities across local, state, and federal levels. This report summarizes the findings of an effort funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation as part of the Pediatric Asthma Initiative, whose purpose is to address current gaps in national childhood asthma care. It is the first national initiative that simultaneously addresses treatment, policy, and financing issues for children with asthma at the patient, provider, and institutional levels. The purpose of RAND's effort was to:--identify a range of policy actions in both the public and private sectors that could improve childhood asthma outcomes nationwide--select a subset of policies to create a blueprint for national policy in this area--outline alternatives to implement these policies that build on prior efforts.The effort developed a comprehensive policy framework that maps the identified strategies to one overall policy objective: to promote the development and maintenance of asthma-friendly communities--communities in which children with asthma are swiftly diagnosed, receive appropriate and ongoing treatment, and are not exposed to environmental factors that exacerbate their condition. This report is intended as a working guide for coordinating the activities of both public and private organizations at the federal, state, and local community levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1990s, treatment-related deaths or ''complications'' were the fifth leading cause of death for Americans. Yet healthcare practitioners decried attempts to standardize treatment. ''We're working with people, not cars,'' they said. The result: an epidemic of preventable mistakes in a medical landscape where patients wait for hours in ''emergency'' rooms, fill out the same paperwork at each visit, and increasingly run the risk of being dosed with the wrong medication or having the wrong limb amputated. These problems spurred a group of dedicated physicians like Paul Batalden and Don Berwick to study the concepts of ''quality improvement'' used at Toyota and NASA, and to dare to apply them to the practice of medicine. This book tells their story, and how these ''heretical'' ideas have blossomed into a movement, bringing the focus back to where it should have always been: the patient.
