QualityAssurance -Meaning
•Quality assurance means the
assurance to consumers that the
products, components, parts and
tools etc. possess specified
characteristics and are fit for the
intended purpose.
Definition
•“Quality assurance is defined as all the
arrangements and activities that are
meant to safeguard, maintain and
promote the quality of care.”
• “Quality Assurance is an on-going,
systematic comprehensive evaluation of
health care services and the impact of
those services on health care services.
Concepts of QA
• Quality assurance originated in manufacturing
industry “to ensure that the product consistently
achieved customer satisfaction”.
• Quality assurance is a dynamic process through
which nurses assume accountability for quality of
care they provide.
• It is a guarantee to the society that services provided
by nurses are being regulated by members of
profession.
• Quality assurance monitor the activities of client 4
Objectives
According to Jonas (2000), the two main
objectives are;
• To ensure the delivery of quality client care
• To demonstrate the efforts of the health care
providers to provide the best possible results
5
Purposes
• Rising expectations of consumer of services.
• Increasing pressure from national,
international, government and other
professional bodies to demonstrate that the
allocation of funds produces satisfactory
results in terms of patient care.
• The increasing complexity of health care
organizations.
• Improvement of job satisfaction.
6
•Highly informed consumer
•To prevent rising medical errors
•Rise in health insurance industry
•Accreditation bodies
•Reducing global boundaries.
7
Principles
• QM operates most effectively within a flat,
democratic and organizational structure
• Managers and workers must be committed to
quality improvement.
• The goal of QM is to improve systems and
processes and not to assign blame.
• Customers define quality.
• Quality improvement focuses on outcome.
• Decisions must be based on data.
Approaches
•General Approach
•Specific Approach
9
GeneralApproach
1. Credentialing- It is the formal recognition of
professional or technical competence and
attainment of minimum standards by a person and
agency. Credentialing process has 4 functional
components
• To produce a quality product
• To confirm a unique identity
• To protect the provider and public
• To control the profession
2. Licensure- It is a contract between the profession and the state
in which the profession is granted control over entry into an exit
from the profession and over quality of professional practice.
3. Accreditation- It is a process in which certification of
competency, authority, or credibility is presented to an
organization with necessary standards.
4. Certification
5. Charter- It is a mechanism by which a state government
agency under state law grants corporate state to institutions with
or without right to award degrees.
6. Recognition- It is defined as a process whereby one agency
accepts the credentialing states of and the credential confined by
another.
7. Academic degree 11
SpecificApproach
1. Peer review
2. Standard as a device for quality assurance :-
Standard is a pre-determined baseline condition or
level of excellence that comprises a model to be
followed and practiced.
3. Audit as a tool for quality assurance :- Nursing
audit may be defined as a detailed review and
evaluation of selected clinical records in order to
evaluate the quality of nursing care and
performance by comparing it with accepted
standards.
Components of QA
• Structure Element- The physical, financial
and organizational resources provided for
health care.
• Process Element- The activities of a health
system or healthcare personnel in the
provision of care.
• Outcome Element- A change in the patient‘s
current or future health that results from
nursing interventions.
Contd……..
• According to Manwell, Shaw, and Beurri, there are
3A’s and 3E’s;
3A’s
• Access to healthcare
• Acceptability
• Appropriateness and relevance to need
3E’s
• Effectiveness
• Efficiency
• Equity
Areas of QA
• Outpatient department- The points to be
remembered are;
• Courteous behavior must be extended by all, trained or
untrained personnel.
• Reduction of waiting time in the OPD and for lab
investigations by creating more service outlets.
• Provide basic amenities like toilets, telephone, and drinking
water etc.
• Provision of polyclinic concept to give all specialty services
under one roof.
• Providing ambulatory services or running day care centers.
• Emergency medical services :- Services
must be provided by well trained and
dedicated staff, and they should have access
to the most sophisticated life- saving
equipment and materials, and also have the
facility of rendering pre- hospital emergency
medical aid through a quick reaction trauma
care team provided with a trauma care
emergency van.
16
• In- patient services :- Provide a pleasant hospital
stay to the patient through provision of a safe,
homely atmosphere, a listening ear, humane
approach and well behaved, courteous staff.
• Specialty services:- A high tech hospital with all
types of specialty and super- specialty services will
increase the image of the hospital.
• Training:- A continuous training programme
should be present consisting of on the job training,
skill training workshops, seminars, conferences, and
case presentations.

19
QualityAssurance Cycle
QualityAssurance Cycle
• In practice, QA is a cyclical, iterative process that
must be applied flexibly to meet the needs of a
specific program.
• The process may begin with a comprehensive effort
to define standards and norms as described in Steps
1-3, or it may start with small-scale quality
improvement activities (Steps 5-10). Alternatively,
the process may begin with monitoring (Step 4).
• The ten steps in the QA process are discussed.
QualityAssurance Cycle
1. Planning for Quality Assurance:- Planning begins with
a review of the organizations scope of care to determine
which services should be addressed.
2. Setting Standards and Specifications:- To provide
consistently high-quality services, an organization must
translate its program goals and objectives into operational
procedures. In its widest sense, a standard is a statement
of the quality that is expected.
3. Communicating Guidelines and Standards:- Once
practice guidelines, standard operating procedures, and
performance standards have been defined, it is essential
that staff members communicate and promote their use.
This will ensure that each health worker, supervisor,
manager, and support person understands what is
expected of him or her.
4. Monitoring Quality:- Monitoring is the routine
collection and review of data that helps to assess whether
program norms are being followed or whether outcomes
are improved.
5. Identifying Problems and Selecting Opportunities for
Improvement:- Program managers can identify quality
improvement opportunities by monitoring and evaluating
activities. Other means include soliciting suggestions from
health workers, performing system process analyses,
reviewing patient feedback or complaints, and generating
ideas through brainstorming or other group techniques.
6. Defining the Problem:- Having selected a problem, the
team must define it operationally-as a gap between actual
performance and performance as prescribed by guidelines
and standards.
7. Choosing a Team:- After defining a problem, a small team
should be assigned; the team will analyze the problem,
develop a QI plan, and implement and evaluate the effort.
8. Analyzing and Studying the Problem:- to Identify the Root
Cause Achieving a meaningful and sustainable quality
improvement effort depends on understanding the problem and
its root causes.
9. Developing Solutions and Actions for QI:- The problem-
solving team should now be ready to develop and evaluate
potential solutions.
10. Implementing and Evaluating QI Efforts:- The team must
determine the necessary resources and time frame and decide
who will be responsible for implementation.
QualityAssurance Model
1. Donabedian Model (1985): It is a model proposed for the structure,
process and outcome of quality. This linear model has been widely accepted
as the fundamental structure to develop many other models in QA.
2. ANA Model: This first proposed and accepted
model of quality assurance was given by Long & Black
in 1975. This helps in the self- determination of patient
and family, nursing health orientation, patient‘s right to
quality care and nursing contributions.
3. Quality Health Outcome Model: The uniqueness of this
model proposed by Mitchell & Co is the point that there are
dynamic relationships with indicators that not only act upon,
but also reciprocally affect the various components
Indicators of QualityAssurance
• Waiting time for different services in the hospital
• Medical errors in judgment, diagnosis, laboratory
reporting, medical treatment or surgical
procedures, etc.
• Hospital infections including hospital- acquired
infections, cross infections.
• Quality of services in key areas like blood bank,
laboratories, X- ray department, central
sterilization services, pharmacy and nursing.
QualityAssurance Resources
The organizations providing quality indexes are;
• AHRQ –Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
• IHI –Institute for Healthcare Improvement
• JCAHO –Joint Commission on Accreditation of
Healthcare Organizations
• NAHQ –National Association for Healthcare Quality
• IOM –Institute of Medicine
• NCQA –National Committee for Quality Assurance
QI Process Steps
1. Identify needs most important to the consumer of health
care services.
2. Assemble a multidisciplinary team to review the identified
consumer needs and services.
3. Collect data to measure the current status of these services.
4. Establish measurable outcomes and quality indicators.
5. Select and implement a plan to meet the outcomes.
6. Collect data to evaluate the implementation of the plan and
achievement of outcomes.

Components of QA • Structure Element- The physical, financial and organizational resources provided for health care. • Process Element- The activities of a health system or healthcare personnel in the provision of care. • Outcome Element- A change in the patient‘s current or future health that results from nursing interventions.
  • 14. Contd…….. • According to Manwell, Shaw, and Beurri, there are 3A’s and 3E’s; 3A’s • Access to healthcare • Acceptability • Appropriateness and relevance to need 3E’s • Effectiveness • Efficiency • Equity
  • 15. Areas of QA • Outpatient department- The points to be remembered are; • Courteous behavior must be extended by all, trained or untrained personnel. • Reduction of waiting time in the OPD and for lab investigations by creating more service outlets. • Provide basic amenities like toilets, telephone, and drinking water etc. • Provision of polyclinic concept to give all specialty services under one roof. • Providing ambulatory services or running day care centers.
  • 16. • Emergency medical services :- Services must be provided by well trained and dedicated staff, and they should have access to the most sophisticated life- saving equipment and materials, and also have the facility of rendering pre- hospital emergency medical aid through a quick reaction trauma care team provided with a trauma care emergency van. 16
  • 17. • In- patient services :- Provide a pleasant hospital stay to the patient through provision of a safe, homely atmosphere, a listening ear, humane approach and well behaved, courteous staff. • Specialty services:- A high tech hospital with all types of specialty and super- specialty services will increase the image of the hospital. • Training:- A continuous training programme should be present consisting of on the job training, skill training workshops, seminars, conferences, and case presentations. 17

  • 20. QualityAssurance Cycle • In practice, QA is a cyclical, iterative process that must be applied flexibly to meet the needs of a specific program. • The process may begin with a comprehensive effort to define standards and norms as described in Steps 1-3, or it may start with small-scale quality improvement activities (Steps 5-10). Alternatively, the process may begin with monitoring (Step 4). • The ten steps in the QA process are discussed.
  • 22. 1. Planning for Quality Assurance:- Planning begins with a review of the organizations scope of care to determine which services should be addressed. 2. Setting Standards and Specifications:- To provide consistently high-quality services, an organization must translate its program goals and objectives into operational procedures. In its widest sense, a standard is a statement of the quality that is expected. 3. Communicating Guidelines and Standards:- Once practice guidelines, standard operating procedures, and performance standards have been defined, it is essential that staff members communicate and promote their use. This will ensure that each health worker, supervisor, manager, and support person understands what is expected of him or her.
  • 23. 4. Monitoring Quality:- Monitoring is the routine collection and review of data that helps to assess whether program norms are being followed or whether outcomes are improved. 5. Identifying Problems and Selecting Opportunities for Improvement:- Program managers can identify quality improvement opportunities by monitoring and evaluating activities. Other means include soliciting suggestions from health workers, performing system process analyses, reviewing patient feedback or complaints, and generating ideas through brainstorming or other group techniques. 6. Defining the Problem:- Having selected a problem, the team must define it operationally-as a gap between actual performance and performance as prescribed by guidelines and standards.
  • 24. 7. Choosing a Team:- After defining a problem, a small team should be assigned; the team will analyze the problem, develop a QI plan, and implement and evaluate the effort. 8. Analyzing and Studying the Problem:- to Identify the Root Cause Achieving a meaningful and sustainable quality improvement effort depends on understanding the problem and its root causes. 9. Developing Solutions and Actions for QI:- The problem- solving team should now be ready to develop and evaluate potential solutions. 10. Implementing and Evaluating QI Efforts:- The team must determine the necessary resources and time frame and decide who will be responsible for implementation.
  • 26. 1. Donabedian Model (1985): It is a model proposed for the structure, process and outcome of quality. This linear model has been widely accepted as the fundamental structure to develop many other models in QA.
  • 27. 2. ANA Model: This first proposed and accepted model of quality assurance was given by Long & Black in 1975. This helps in the self- determination of patient and family, nursing health orientation, patient‘s right to quality care and nursing contributions.
  • 28. 3. Quality Health Outcome Model: The uniqueness of this model proposed by Mitchell & Co is the point that there are dynamic relationships with indicators that not only act upon, but also reciprocally affect the various components
  • 29. Indicators of QualityAssurance • Waiting time for different services in the hospital • Medical errors in judgment, diagnosis, laboratory reporting, medical treatment or surgical procedures, etc. • Hospital infections including hospital- acquired infections, cross infections. • Quality of services in key areas like blood bank, laboratories, X- ray department, central sterilization services, pharmacy and nursing.
  • 30. QualityAssurance Resources The organizations providing quality indexes are; • AHRQ –Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality • IHI –Institute for Healthcare Improvement • JCAHO –Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations • NAHQ –National Association for Healthcare Quality • IOM –Institute of Medicine • NCQA –National Committee for Quality Assurance
  • 31. QI Process Steps 1. Identify needs most important to the consumer of health care services. 2. Assemble a multidisciplinary team to review the identified consumer needs and services. 3. Collect data to measure the current status of these services. 4. Establish measurable outcomes and quality indicators. 5. Select and implement a plan to meet the outcomes. 6. Collect data to evaluate the implementation of the plan and achievement of outcomes.
