This paper will identify quality measure programs and how they have been implemented at the Detroit medical centers (DMC). The student will identify the quality management structure and identify who is responsible for the organization 's quality management. This paper will also determine how quality improvements are selected and managed, and how nurses are involved with the selection. The student will explain how the staff is educated on the new quality standards and methods and tools used in the education of staff. Finally, the student will demonstrate how the DMC evaluates the effectiveness of quality improvement (QI) and identify how the organization responds when quality improvements are not successful.

KPI boards are utilized to promote safety, quality improvement and cost reductions for the units and the hospital as a whole (Australian Institute of Health Innovation, 2013). The boards are to identify needed quality improvements within the individual units. Then the chief nursing officer along with other key members of upper hospital management round once a week to determine the areas of inefficiency on the units. Managers are responsible for reporting the data obtained and outline how they plan to improve the deficiency. The goals of the KPI program is to assist units to identified deficiencies and to help units to improve and how to take corrective action. The KPI boards measure hospital goals such as average length of stay in the emergency room, falls, monetary waste, and how long it takes to move the patient from the emergency room to the floor once a bed is assigned (Howell, Wills, & Johnston, 2014). The KPI boards are structured to provide a guide for the quality improvements identified as requiring attention. The KPI board also represent the goals and standards of the hospital and identifies areas for improvement (Australian Institute of Health …show more content…
The KPI boards are a tool that is utilized by the organization to measure quality improvements and the results. KPI boards measure quality improvement by using a graphed chart to display how well the QI is performing. The table shows a daily measure of the quality improvement and assesses if the goal or target was met for that day. The KPI boards measure months at a time, and the data is then collected, analyzed, and adjustments to the quality improvement are made if the goal has not been reached. When quality improvement are successfully implemented patients, staff, and the hospital all benefit. When quality improvements fail to be successfully implemented then, the quality improvement is discussed in the situation room or daily management meeting, plans, revisions, corrections and strategies for improved implementation are discussed, and a plan is made for the relaunch. The American college of emergency physicians has reservations when it comes to some of the mandatory quality improvements such as reducing the length of stay in the emergency room (2014). The concern is that something may be missed by the physician due to having time constraints placed upon how long a patient is allowed to stay in the emergency room (American college of emergency physicians, 2014). One of the quality improvement that has been implemented by the students current hospital is the implementation of a
