    Area of Science:

    • Physiotherapy
    • Healthcare Quality Assurance
    • Medical Records Management

    Background:

    • Assessing the quality of care in physiotherapy is crucial for effective patient outcomes.
    • Developing standardized systems for recording patient information is a prerequisite for quality assessment.
    • Existing methods may lack the structure needed for systematic quality evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a comprehensive approach to quality assurance in a hospital physiotherapy department.
    • To highlight the importance of a structured recording system for quality assessment.
    • To introduce and discuss the Problem Oriented Medical Record (POMR) as a tool for quality assurance.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of the Problem Oriented Medical Record (POMR) system for patient documentation.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Development of guidelines for standardized data recording within the POMR framework.
  • Establishment of an auditing process to evaluate the quality of recorded information and care.

    • Main Results:

    • The POMR system provides a structured method for recording patient information, facilitating quality assessment.
    • Auditing the POMR system allows for the identification of areas for improvement in physiotherapy services.
    • The proposed approach enhances the ability to critically evaluate physiotherapeutic treatments.

    Conclusions:

    • A systematic approach to quality assurance, utilizing the POMR and auditing, is essential for physiotherapy departments.
    • Standardized recording and critical evaluation of treatments improve the overall quality of physiotherapy care.
    • Sharing knowledge and establishing evaluation criteria among physiotherapists can advance the profession.
