Improving evidence-based practice: use of the POP-Q system for the assessment of pelvic organ prolapse
1DuPage Medical Group, Chicago, IL, USA.
Abstract:
The focus of improving health care outcomes today relies on utilizing evidence-based practice. Pelvic organ prolapse affects women of all ages and negatively impacts their quality of life. Evidence-based tools for consistent assessment of prolapses have been developed, validated, and used by many clinicians. Use of these tools needs to become standard of practice for all clinicians who work in the women's health arena. The Brink scale and the POP-Q assessment tool can assist clinicians, direct quality care, and provide evidence-based practice.
