OBQI Through the Use of Clinical Pathways

Your Playlist:

Description

Under the Outcome-Based Quality Improvement system, quality of care is measured using the most effective and relevant benchmark available - patient outcome data. This program shows how the principles of OBQI apply to individual patient care and to developing an understanding of the patient's specific needs. It explains how restorative nursing techniques and complementary and alternative therapies (CAM) fit into the equation of patient care, while also helping to clarify the relationship between clinical pathways and a specific diagnosis. Diseases and disorders used to illustrate the episode's concepts include Parkinson's disease, diabetes, COPD, and clinical depression.
