50 Policies and Plans for Outpatient Services

By: Carole Guinane,Joseph Venturelli

Since more and more surgeries and procedures are being performed in outpatient settings, the policies, plans, and procedures for these services are of increasing importance. 50 Policies and Plans for Outpatient Services details commonly used policies and plans in free-standing ambulatory care centers. Included are plans and policies concentrating on emergency management, medication safety, informed consent, and medical staff credentialing to name a few. As an introduction to the model documents presented, the book begins with a how-to chapter to guide readers through the process of formatting the documents and making them their own. The policies and plans discussed serve as templates and can apply to licensing and regulatory agencies such as Medicare, the Joint Commission, and AAAHC. The documents included in this book are excellent templates to use as a starting point for producing policies and plans that help create the flow and process in an organization. Knowing their specific local, state, and other governing agency requirements, readers can customize the documents to reflect the unique structure and qualities of their organization through the use of the enclosed CD. The resulting policies, procedures, and plans are the back-up documents that provide rationale, vision, and theory, and can be valuable tools for making effective clinical and administrative decisions. In addition to the documents provided on the CD-ROM, the book also includes a list of helpful resources.

Clinical Care Pathways

Tools and Methods for Designing, Implementing, and Analyzing Efficient Care Practices

By: Carole S. Guinane

Clinical pathways are rapidly changing the delivery of care across the healthcare continuum and can improve patient care and decrease resource utilization. Reducing fear and improving outcomes are direct results of clinical pathways and patients and patient families experience a higher level of satisfaction because they know what to expect and how to plan for their care. This text aims to provide a comprehensive workbook that defines the tools and methods needed to create, implement and analyze clinical pathways. It includes a discussion of the development of steering committees for determining pathway structure, documentation methodology, education of caregivers, and variance measurement. Team-building skills for creating, implementing and studying a successful pathway are explored, sample charts are used for instructional guidelines and tool explanation, and case studies from hospitals that have successfully implemented pathways are examined.
