Implementing successful clinical quality management programs is a major problem for healthcare institutions. Recent surveys reveal medical professionals devote nearly two full workdays weekly to quality reporting instead of patient care. Complex regulatory requirements, disparate data collection methods, and disjointed systems are the causes of this burden. As part of clinical quality management, healthcare delivery is systematically evaluated in relation to established criteria for ongoing improvement. The field leaders know that increasing operational effectiveness and patient outcomes requires cutting these procedures down.
Initiatives to enhance quality are hampered by a number of factors in healthcare settings. Electronic health record systems' technical limitations create documentation challenges for clinicians.
