Insights

Graphical Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) reports visually highlight children

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Health
  • Clinical Quality Improvement
  • Patient-Centered Care

Background:

  • Cleft lip and palate care requires comprehensive assessment beyond physical characteristics.
  • Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) capture crucial patient-centered data.
  • Integrating patient perspectives into clinical workflows can be challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To pilot graphical displays of cleft-related PROM results for children below the 25th percentile.
  • To assess the impact of visual PROM reports on clinical discussions and treatment planning.
  • To evaluate the utility of graphical PROM data in identifying unmet psychosocial needs.

Main Methods:

  • PROM results for children scoring below the 25th percentile were formatted into graphical displays.
  • A pilot study was conducted in a multidisciplinary cleft clinic.
  • Provider feedback on the impact of graphical reports was qualitatively recorded.

Main Results:

  • Graphical PROM reports effectively informed clinical discussions.
  • The use of visual PROM data led to modifications in treatment plans.
  • Awareness of patients' unmet psychosocial needs was increased among providers.

Conclusions:

  • Visual PROM reports are a successful quality improvement tool in cleft care.
  • Graphical PROM data enhances understanding of the patient's perspective.
  • This approach leads to more informed and patient-centered clinical visits.

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...

Guidelines for Writing Outcome01:11

Guidelines for Writing Outcome

When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...
