Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Ostomy Care01:24

Ostomy Care

2.1K
Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Quality Improvement
  • Primary Care Practice Management
  • Lean Methodology in Medicine

Background:

  • Lean is gaining traction as a quality improvement (QI) strategy in healthcare.
  • Adoption of Lean in primary care teaching practices remains limited.
  • This study details a Lean implementation strategy in an academic family medicine center.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a strategy for implementing Lean in an academic family medicine center.
  • To provide a formative assessment of the Lean implementation approach.
  • To evaluate the initial effects of Lean on quality of care and practice operations.

Main Methods:

  • A case study approach was used at the University of North Carolina Family Medicine Center.
  • The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research guided the formative evaluation.
  • Implementation involved expert partnerships, a leadership team, QI events, Lean training, and activity evaluation.

Main Results:

  • The Preventive Care Index showed minimal to no change in quality of care.
  • Patient appointment cycle time decreased from 89 to 65 minutes.
  • Practice productivity increased, while patient satisfaction slightly decreased, and visit volume rose.

Conclusions:

  • Lean implementation had an uneven impact on quality improvement in the first year.
  • Specific operational metrics like cycle time and productivity showed positive trends.
  • Further evaluation is needed to understand the long-term effects and optimize Lean's application in primary care.
