Orthopaedic audit: a comprehensive system for in-patients.

J M Sikorski, J M Mander

    Health Trends
    |April 10, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    The Problem Oriented Summary, Audit, Discharge (POSAD) system streamlines in-patient admission auditing and generates immediate discharge summaries. Auditing revealed significant variations in surgical practices, leading to quality improvements.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Services Research
    • Medical Informatics
    • Quality Improvement in Healthcare

    Background:

    • Traditional hospital discharge summaries can increase workload.
    • A need exists for efficient auditing and quality control systems in healthcare.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate the Problem Oriented Summary, Audit, Discharge (POSAD) system.
    • To assess the impact of POSAD on workload and information generation for quality control.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of the POSAD system in an orthopaedic service.
    • Prospective and comprehensive auditing of 2,322 in-patient admissions over one year.
    • Analysis of work profiles and quality control data.

    Main Results:

    • POSAD replaced conventional discharge summaries without increasing workload.
    • Auditing identified wide variations in surgical behavior and individual workloads.
    • Generated data facilitated three key innovations in surgical practice.

    Conclusions:

    • The POSAD system is an effective tool for auditing in-patient admissions and generating discharge summaries.
    • POSAD facilitates quality control by highlighting variations in surgical practice.
    • The system enables data-driven innovations for improved patient care and service management.
