Wonder if we suboptimize excellent management by getting too much into the doing, rather than focusing on delegating, equipping, empowering, directing, monitoring, leading?

Four Ways to Approach Quality Outcome Measures:
Posted by: Beverly Luce at 7:01PM EST on July 3, 2010

1) Negative results and unexpected events - measurement of sentinel events and near misses, such as surgical incision infection, hospital acquired pneumonia.

2) Subjective assessment - what is the patient or caregiver opinion of care.

3) Objective assessment - examples- lab values, increased activities of daily living, readmission rates.

4) Placement at termination of care - The transisition of care to the most appropriate level safe for the patient.  i.e. home, home with home health, rehab, hospice, LTACH. This is a measure of the level of patient functionality.
