💫Day 3 as a Healthcare Professional in the Quality Department 🚀 💪 Today marked an important milestone in my journey as I fully immersed myself in the hospital’s quality management processes. 💡The day began with an insightful induction session where I had the opportunity to learn about our institution's core values, the critical importance of maintaining high standards in healthcare, and how every department collaborates to deliver exceptional patient care. 📈Post-induction, I rolled up my sleeves and started updating the SOPs and manuals. This task is more than just paperwork—it's about ensuring that every procedure we follow is up-to-date, efficient, and, most importantly, aligned with the latest best practices in healthcare. These documents are the backbone of our operations, guiding us in delivering safe, effective, and patient care . As I worked through the updates, I realized how vital it is to have well-documented processes that everyone can rely on. It’s a small step in the grand scheme of things, but each update contributes to the larger goal of continuous improvement in patient care and safety. I’m excited to continue this journey and to see the impact these efforts will have on our team's ability to provide the highest level of care. Every day is a learning experience, and I’m eager to keep growing and contributing to our shared mission of excellence in healthcare. 💪 #HealthcareQuality #PatientSafety #ContinuousImprovement #HealthcareProfessionals #QualityManagement

I earned this certification to deepen my expertise in enhancing healthcare quality and safeguarding patient well-being. Through this program, I gained critical skills in:  Ensuring Patient Safety: Mastering the best practices to prevent errors and mitigate risks, ensuring every patient receives the safest care possible.  Driving Quality Improvement: Applying data driven techniques to improve care processes and align with national and global healthcare standards.  Leading Safety Initiatives: Designing and implementing impactful quality improvement strategies that reduce medical errors and promote a culture of continuous improvement.  

Delivering excellent healthcare service requires a two-pronged approach: quality management (QM) and quality assurance (QA). QM involves proactive measures to ensure consistent, high-quality care through standardized policies, performance monitoring, and continuous improvement. QA focuses on verifying adherence to these standards through internal and external audits, and incorporating patient feedback. By working together, QM and QA create a cycle of excellence in health systems, prioritizing patient safety, satisfaction, and compliance with regulations. This approach leads to a thriving health system that delivers exceptional healthcare and builds trust with patients. #OperationalExcellenceInHealthSystems #BuildingRobust&ResilientHealthSystems

Quality Management Systems are increasingly becoming part & parcel of high performing healthcare organisations endorsed by NHS E & the wider field of Improvement: ⛰️Quality Planning - starts with the needs of the patient and service users, designing strategy and services to service the needs & lead the organisational direction 🔄Quality Improvement - involves a systematic and coordinated approach to solving a problem using specific methods and tools with the aim of bringing about a measurable improvement. 👍Quality Control - is owned and managed by those closest to where the work takes place to sustain improvements and produce reliable outcomes 📈Quality Assurance - a crucial way to evaluate the ongoing performance of the system For those on the journey or looking to learn, this is one of the better free collation of resources, it's well worth a peak: https://lnkd.in/e2as3Uwx Also if you're working on the topic and looking for inspiration, catch our library of webinars from our implementation journeys of QMSs with various partner orgs: https://lnkd.in/eQzJdBAQ #QMS #ContinuousQualityImprovement #Juran #Healthcare The Health Foundation Dr. Joy Furnival CEng MIET Emma Adams Aklak Choudhury Nim Chandran

What is ISO 7101? ISO 7101 is the first international consensus standard for healthcare quality management. It prescribes requirements for a systematic approach to sustainable, high quality health systems, enabling organizations of any scale, structure, or region to: create a culture of quality starting with strong top management;  embrace a healthcare system based on people-centred care, respect, compassion, co-production, equity and dignity;  identify and address risks;  ensure patient and workforce safety and wellbeing;  control service delivery through documented processes and documented information;  monitor and evaluate clinical and non-clinical performance;  continually improve its processes and results.

Quality Improvement in any clinical or research set up is a continuous process. Through a properly designed Quality Management System we can achieve great outcomes, improve patient safety, save cost and increase efficiency...what are other benefits of implementing a QMS?

Navigating Quality Assurance in Hospital Accreditation 📌 Standards Compliance: Quality Assurance (QA) ensures continuous alignment with evolving healthcare standards, with rigorous processes evaluating and driving hospitals to meet and exceed criteria. 📌 Patient Safety & Care Quality: QA frameworks focus on minimizing errors and maximizing outcomes, with regular audits and feedback loops ensuring patient care remains paramount. 📌 Staff Competence and Morale: Continuous training and assessments boost staff proficiency and satisfaction, pivotal for achieving accreditation and impacting overall hospital effectiveness. 📌 Operational Efficiency: Identifies bottlenecks and redundancies, leading to streamlined operations that reduce waste, conserve resources, and improve service delivery in line with accreditation metrics. 📌 Reputation and Trust: Maintaining accreditation through QA enhances trust, attracting more patients, professionals, and partnerships, and bolstering the community's confidence in the hospital. Choose the QA strategies that best fit your hospital’s goals and regulatory environment, leveraging them to improve care, efficiency, and reputation. #HospitalAccreditation #QualityAssurance #PatientSafety #HealthcareExcellence #OperationalEfficiency #HealthcareReputation
