The Process of Continuous Quality Improvement
Improving the healthcare system is not a small task since it is highly complex and critical. In the United States, continuous quality improvement in the healthcare system has significantly focused on improving process outcomes, quality assurance, offering equal care, and reducing costs. The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is responsible for coordinating the process of continuous quality improvement. In recent decades, the United States healthcare stakeholders have been concerned with continuously improving monitoring and improvement processes to handle the population-wide equity challenges. Most of the managers in the system are uninformed about the effects of inequity in decision-making despite efforts to adjust the system positively. In this context, the essay will be divided into three parts. The first part addresses the effectiveness of the monitoring process in England and its facilitative need to adjust the United States healthcare system. The second part highlight several inequities experienced by the U.S. healthcare system. The last part will explain ideas necessary and practical to solve these inequities.
How can the Monitoring process suggested in the article help revise the processes used inside the United States? It's working in England- so could it work in the U.S.? Why or why not?
The monitoring process implied in the article has been effective in increasing healthcare assurance. The process involves integrating indicators such as socioeconomic factors, quality, deprivation, equity, and geographical factors into the U.S. mainstream healthcare system. To ensure their assurance, the government coordinates these indicators to the overall community, primary, and acute settings such as emergency patient admissions. According to the article, the research was conducted on a similar population benchmark before the final analysis. The results suggest that England has better Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) than the United States. CCGs have obligations to commission National Health Service (NHS) services such as acute care, emergency care, mental community, and health services (Cookson et al., 2018). Also, they are obligated to primary care and specialized collaborative services. The efforts proposed by this monitoring process focus on improving safety and lowering costs.
I believe that the monitoring process proposed by the authors could effectively suffice in the United States healthcare system. The U.S. healthcare performance policies are focused on various social variables of health, not only the delivery of services. In this context, the system runs through parallel development and quality improvement mechanisms to overlook equity. Other scholars, such as Vockley (2017), suggest that the U.S. system is on the verge of achieving its continuous improvement process goals, especially after reports by Community Health Network that the system has improved data-driven practices and high clinical standards of care and evidence-based practice. The other reason the process may be effective and a...
