developed. Through multiple PDSA cycles, we designed and tested a prototype inreach process. We then operationalized this process for patients admitted to the hospital medicine service, and focused on weekly failures to achieve process reliability. Results Assessments of care gaps increased from 0% to 88% by the end of December 2018. The percentage of care gap resolution has increased from 30% to 40%. Conclusions Using QI methods, a new process to help improve population health for children can be successfully implemented outside of the traditional domain of primary care.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
